I'm at a 5.5in lift with 44s front and rear. 4.56 gears and 35 and only average 14. 11 when its cold and 15 when its hot. I may get a little more now that I ditches a heavy ars rear bumper and have alloy rims. Getting lock outs in the front seemed to help a little to lol. I don't even look at what I get lol. I drive a jeep lol.

The more arch and the stiffer your springs are they less they untravel. And they have to wear in also. So the softer they get the more they flex. The flatter your spring the more travel you will get.

I have fender trimming down to a science!!!

Your springs are broke in man. Thet have been on that jeep for two years now, and were on another before that.

You prob need to ditch a couple of the leafs and relocate your shackles......also look at your rear shocks next time ur fully flexed and make sure they are not fully compressed.

I think it would.. by moving your shackle closer to a 45 degree angle, your ride improves, and also the shackle will swing backward (w/out hitting the shackle box) to stuff your tires, and forward more to get you more droop.

x2 what D and freak said about your leafs.
