Lol you need longer travel shocks or something. That coil doesn't look unloaded, much less unseated.

1. Trim your fenders a bit more.
2. Get longer shocks...or see whats binding. You should have way more travel
3. Answer Lowrange's question..haha. Im curious too. THe guard doesnt look right lol

That's 4" on 33's. You have more travel left somewhere. Our guess is shocks. Take them off and flex it again.

No, go disconnect them and measure for the lengths that you need. You'll get a better idea of what you need.
