GEN 2 Anyone running spring under rear?

If so how do you like it? Pros/cons?

What would the advantage of spring under be? Just less axle wrap?
It would seem you would need 4-5" lift springs to make up for the lost height. More arched springs would = rougher ride. U-bolts and plates dragging on rocks.

My understanding is increased uptravel which would require a C notched frame.
Interested to hear other opinions.

Unless I'm thinking about it wrong, wouldn't you need springs with a total "lift" of the diameter of the axle tube PLUS the height of the spring pack itself just to get back to stock height? I just went out and measured that on my truck, and that would be about 7".

I believe sprung under increases up travel, but only 1 or at most 2 inches, and significantly helps keep the rear tires in contact with the dirt. I can't say I've seen a sprung under Gen2, but I've seen a few Gen1's.

One of the Exo guys have one:

And Rouge makes a kit (Gen1):

There’s a guy in the San Jose area that is running spring under on his Gen2. I don’t know if he’s on here though. I’ve been on one run with him and it seemed to work fine, but I don’t know the specs or install details.
