Those pucks are secured with a bolt and a big washer or they're glued in?

and thanks for the pics guys.

 

Is that a question? bc i dont see a bolt. maybe mine are glued

 

Stock styles stops, including extended length, are press fit. They can be pryed out with out removing the spring.
Hockey pucks can be Glued, bolted or just left to float inside the spring. I have 3 in my they are glued, with RTV, to each other and the perch. Haven't come loose after years of abuse. You do have to apply the glue AFTER inserting them into the spring.

 

I was wonderng if I could R&R my coils w/o a compressor too. My Rusty's 4.5" coils and coming and I've got 3"coil/2"puck with Skyjacker LCAs now. In the past, when I've let the front end drop all the way, the first thing to come in contact is actually the LCA with the LCA/lower shock bracket!

Has anyone trimmed the corner off that bracket to get more droop?? Do you think that would cause a problem?

 

When i installed my 4.5 " coils from rusty's i had to use a compressor, but keep in mind i did not have my sway bar disco'd. That is why i started this thread because i will have it disco's this time.

 

Yah, I'll have shocks and swaybar disco'ed. I was thinking about discoing my LCAs to let the axle drop more. I hate spring compressors!!

 

No need to do that. When you will be able to get them out with just the shocks and sway bar disconnected. It will drop all the way down. If you need more room then take the LCA loose but until you have to I wouldnt mess with all that. PITA sometime to get them back in. Atleast for me it was. The axle was trying to move all over the place. When you take only the shock and sway bar the postion of the axle will stay basically the same just moved down.

 

i grinded mine a little , i wasnt sure of trimming off the end tho , i wanted to talk to some others to see what they thought

 

Yah, I'm thinking about just grinding about a 1/2" arch over the LCAs. Can you post pics of what you did??

 

ill try to get a pic , but i just did exactly what you said , i need to go a little more , i only went like 1/4 " and it you can barely tell by looking at it

 

how many hockey pucks do you think I would need for 3.5'' lift on 33's with trimmed fenders? Right now my tires are destroying my front quarter panels but i still want to keep some flex and have no way to "flex" it to see how many I need...

FYI...I trimmed the LCA bracket to let it droop a little more AND had a spring compressor and it was still a struggle to get them in! I don't know if its the size of the Skyjacker LCAs or what but that front end does not come down very easily.
