For what it's worth, while skimming through the manual, looking for AE's guidance on using the included limiters, I came across a bit about the initial ride height being 27mm.

Yes! This is great! I am not saying I don't want to run limiters, and I am definitely not suggesting any design changes to the shocks towers. The only thing I am saying is that for a rookie like myself, I need to be told to put the limiters on, or at least warned what may happen if I don't. And I should not have to participate in a thread on a forum to have this knowledge. It should be in the manual or on their site in a "notices" or "updates" type section.

All of this being said, I am happy to learn the hard way some things, and in this case that's how I see it. No worries, I will make the required fix, rebuild my diffs. if necessary, be grateful that others with more experience have invested the time to be able to tell me flat-out what the fix is, and continue to think that if AE knows of an issue, they find a reasonable way to publicize it for all.
