Seems to me this is a good checker when making changes to shock limiter spacers, shock positions (both top and bottom). For example, how many spacers should I add if I move the lower shock to the outer holes for the same droop angle?
This template is 9 deg and matched perfectly to my current droop setting without deflecting the suspension (resting on shock limiter stops)
That's a pretty slick idea. I've used tools similar to the one below but its pretty clunky to try to hold it up under the car. This is the first I have heard anyone mention the droop changing with the big bores.
