Longest travel leafs?

[RangerPNW]

In my case the travel of the leafs are limited by shock stroke length and height of the bump stop ....when installing,to get the bottom bolt in, I had to jack.the axle.up about 1/2" to get the bolt thru with the shock at full extension..... ICON.2.5 Piggybacks. ICON Progressive Leaf pack, ICON Universal foam bump stops...

Thats not ideal, but provided you aren't getting airborne with the truck shouldn't really be an issue

You are right...droop should not excede the shock stroke length...The ICON 2.5 Shocks have a longer stroke length than all the other made for Ranger 5G shocks..
Going to a longer (F150) shock with a re-valve job was a thought , but I wasn't sure how much further down the rabbit hole that was going to take me....?,,,,

Seems odd though that an all Icon setup would have that issue... might be worth reaching out to them just for shits and giggles.

I think the extra 1/2" of droop is from the 5° shim I added to correct my pinon angle after installing the Tom Woods 1 piece drive shaft...shim was about 5/8" thick and went under the leafs, on top of the axle perch....
