BAM!! Found this.
...and this.
I think I may have. That and the spring has some road rash from when it popped out from under the truck. I thought about eibachs, and particularly since my now former bilsteins had gone down hill causing the vehicles to sit racked again. Going off of just a quick fender measure (vs chassis) I was running 42 inches from ground to top center at back, 40.5 inches on passenger side, and 38.75 on driver side. I had the springs almost fully preloaded and was still sitting on my bumpstops.
I can't wait to see the new coils on either. Shortly after typing up the previous reply I had an "oh s**t!" epiphany and realized the coilovers also come with 1/2inch eyelet heims. The RCD grade 8 bolts for their bilstein coilover are 9/16in. So I put a call back into ORW, having Nick add 2 more fox bushing kits to my order. I was really hoping to use the heims over bushings and sleves. The below site has a craop-ton of fox rebuilding parts, including "heims, reducers, and mounting hardware" and "eyelets". I may contact them once I have a steady job again, thus affording to make some tweaks. The fox bushing kits from ORW only ran me $7 and change.
