Funny that you say that because I actually have the Synergy upper mounts installed but due to the Piggy back reservoir I had to mount them in the stock shock upper mount. I'm thinking about buying 10" or 12" coilovers with a remote res & mounting them up in the Synergy location. They only down side I see is that I won't be able to use my stock rear sway bar. Do you think that the slight increase in the angle by mounting them up and out will cause any issues?

Thanks for replying Dirtman & sorry for the hijack op! I'm running a little under 4" of lift with very little preload on the adjustment collar. I'm not sure if the exact measurements of the shaft or between bumps but I do have 1" of shock shaft showing at full bump with 4" bumpstops. The Rear EVO spec King coilovers for the bolt on kit are actually 10". Hers a pic of the setup.

This is the correct course of action. The timing rings should be an inch from the spring slider. You get an inch of soft and squishy, then transition to the higher rate spring. Mine was very squatty when loaded at first. I added a little preload and brought the timing rings down and that seems to have resolved most of the issue.

That was just a photo I pulled off the Internet. My timing rings sits about 1" above the slider. I might need to check into getting a higher spring rate & some King rear bump stops. It came with 200/250 & I switch to 250/250 due to the sagging. Thanks for the help guys
