[QUOTE="halojunkie, post: 1344128, member: 32288"] Yep those are the gen 1 coils and they don't really rub so much as make contact at full droop. Its not a binding, just a resting of the uca on the spring. The gen 2s are not even close to fitting correctly due to increased center bulge in the barrel. I did the passenger strut last night to finish up. Swapped the entire side in a little over an hour, total breeze this time. Took it out to a terraced field to pop up the front end a few times in 4H. Nothing broke and I don't expect it to, but I guess time will tell. Ride is pristine. I won't be back to those shit-box 2.5s. I'll lose my mind and pay the $2500 on the dsc's or I'll trade it off. On mixed terrain is where it really shines, bombing over curbs in the roundabout, bridge transitions, taking train tracks at 60. No listing on rutty highways or tire hop on the interstate flyovers. Completely mutes highway chop. My 2.5s were pretty much done so your mileage may vary on depending on wheels and tires. To me the difference is night and day. As with literally everything you take out of OEM spec, there is added risk and definitely not for everyone. 10/10 would do again. [/QUOTE]
