Nice! So my full set may arrive at my door sooner than mid-late March? Perhaps in time for my trip to Mammoth!
EDIT: Just saw that the comfort rear setup is still due out end of March. Jumped the gun on the elation.

I did the EXACT same thing - trip to Crested Butte last weekend in March, hoping to install before then

The March container arrived today, so any pending orders that were expected to ship in late March should be shipped out by tomorrow.

Let's say I wanted a plush ride for the small bumps but also to be able to hit a big nasty pothole without slowing down (say 30 mph), what settings would I use? 1 on the low speed and 9 on the high speed? Or 3 and 7? Or would I go the opposite way like 7 and 3 (my guess is not though)? I'm mainly thinking about forest roads but it actually applies to pavement roads as well.

I would leave the high speed adjuster alone and just adjust the slow speed to a softer setting - that's what softens up the standard bumps and cracks in the road.
Let me find the paperwork that comes with it and post it up here. It has the standard recommendations for this vehicle platform in there.

So I finally pulled the trigger on the MRA kit... been thinking a while between MRA and IMS and finally took my decision!
Can't wait to install them.

The fronts need to be at least 2" of lift height. Since the coil seat height is fully adjustable, you can use any coil as long as it is set to 2" of height.
The rear long travels require the use of a variable rate coil, the 3" height ones ending in the letter V

No, just the forum member discount.
And stocks got so wiped out from last month, it's a good thing there isn't a big discount this month too.

Mike, in your video you show that when adjusting the big knob (HSC), the LSC know will also turn.
Does that count as a "click" for the LSC knob?

No, I don't think so. Would be easy to tell though, just set the LSC all the way up or down and turn the HSC and see if there's any difference. I'm pretty sure there's not.

Yeah, it doesn't count. You'd still adjust the LSC as needed. Just verified.

Thanks for checking. Do you have recommended settings for different terrains?
