ehh. I think Vanimal on naxja fit 16's in the rear while maintaining 72" drip rail height but I can't remember what size front
seems like 14's would simply be a much better fit. can you even utilize that much travel at 5.5" lift? assuming you still have the engine in the stock location and a panhard bar. I'd wager you'll be fine with 14"
how about some more info on what you're setting up. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who runs a 16 front

Well I got 16" coil overs for a price I couldn't refuse so I'm kinda sick with them now. I know I wont use all that travel for sure. Im still gonna run a panhard. Im running the coilovers on top of my dana 30 for now. I try bending a hoop but it won't fit without moving master cylinder. So I am gonna run shock towers welded to the beefed up frame and a bar across the engine

as long as you can fit them and still keep like 5" of uptravel then I say run them with limit straps. oh well
so you already have the inner fender well cut away? and you have the CO's? seems like you could just measure the compressed length plus 5" or whatever, then compare that with where you shock towers are going.. that'll put you in the ball park as long as you have an idea of where the axle is at full bump and maybe ride height. 16's are huge

Yes 16s are huge. Well I quickly cut a hole with the plasma cutter since I had everything stripped already. I measured six over compressed and it seems pretty dam close. Maybe I can lift the hood a little so I done have to cut into it

Run them as collapsed as possible. Youll only have 4-5" up travel anyway id imagine so you may sneak tjem in thete. Then just limit strap.
