I have given straight answers all along.
really? I have not seen one thing where you debunk my answers, just a bunch of pity rants like "you are like in your own little world" I do belive thats not a straight answer
But just for the record 90% of what you have been saying is meaningless for what we are talking about.
so thats why pry bars are long and not short? why we use block pulleys to lessen a load instead of just straight trying to pull heavy loads over one over head pulley? why a screwdriver handle is larger to allow easier rotation than to have it with no handle? why breaker bars are long instead of short? I can keep going on about how physics works with us everyday..
SO you are trying to post an argument that blocks may prematurely wear out your spring?
WHo cares! People who wheel hard are lucky to have good suspension in a year.
YOu have an on paper argument that does not mean jack in the real world.
^do you read anything you write?
"But pick ups are not used off road" Are you serious?! You whole rant was about axle wrap
What do you think hauling heavy loads on tarmac causes? A heck of a lot more axle wrap than playing in the dirt!
funny how answers have been brought up(trucks have bigger and thicker and higher capacity spring weight leafs compare to ours)yet you seem to be over looking this and ignoring it for the sake of not admitting your wrong.

Actually the suspension works awesome for what it is. I am on the bumps, no rubbing, with 10" bilsiens 1/4“ from full extension and compression at full travel. Couldn't ask for more.
And I will post a video and a couple pictures for you to make fun of . Its not "extreme" but for a daily driver its a lot of fun for the area I have around me.

so what is limiting your travel then? for me, my shocks were too long and my lower arms would bind up behind the coil buckets. my passenger side LCA now looks like a boomerang

I could run 12" shocks and max them but I would need aftermarket control arms and would need to raise my shock mounts.(upper mounts)
ANd at this point 10“ front and rear for shocks is more than enough.

Maybe because I am wheeling and not posing for video?
I have been up some very tough trails where you have to hammer to catch the next step or rock ledge. Bit the guys I wheel with are by themselves in their trucks. So we don't have many videos.
Appreciate your concern in the matter.
