Thanks for the tip... ill keep an eye on the travel of the UCA with them off. I do have a set of superbumps but the last couple times I bottomed out I really felt like I can really blow though them if its a hard enough bump... also felt like I was under-sprung in the front.
If I could do it over I would have went with a 650lb spring instead of the 600lb spring on the 6112, even for a stock weight truck. I could use the headroom.
Perhaps its time to move to a progressive valved shock... Once you blow though the initial stiffness of a digressive it almost feels like there is nothing to catch you. Would have been great to have an internal bypass with a bump zone in the last 1-2 inches of compression... but here I am going off topic on my own thread.

Shrockworks on the front too, so lots of weight.
I have the Rancho QuickLift 9000xl, I cant seem to find any info on the coils.
They are heavier than stock. I don't think the shocks last long, maybe 30k.
I put new on the rear last week, helped a lot, one old shock wont rebound anymore after you compress it.
I am sure the fronts are shot too.
But hey, only $525 for a set front and rear.
The stock coil diameter are 15mm(passenger) 16mm(driver) @580-590lbs?
Rancho are 17mm
OME 2886 are 17.5/17.8mm(claim 18mm) @660lbs
