I did not measure ground clearance at full bump/droop, but I can get it for Ya. Most noticeable change is that despite the truck sitting higher than when it was leveled, I still have plenty of down travel which was not the case before.
Upper ball joint seems to max out before the cvs bind. Looking at some work arounds.
I don't have any more guns and I don't chew. Maybe some street bike pics? (Although i just wrecked it at deals gap/tail of the dragon.)

12 is pretty respectable in the dirt though. Alot of race classes limit you to 12 actually. To make things fair lol

almost every long travel kit at 3" over will be limited at 12" because of the upper uniball. The kits that cycle more usually have The uniball welded into the spindle vertically so that travel becomes unlimited but steering is now limited.

I think these ballistic uniballs will give pretty good steering if I re-configure (34 degrees) but trying to get more than 12" is a bit greedy. I'd like to be able to use the full stroke of that 10" shock though.

Yes. No bind. I think it is partially because I have the cvs pulled out to max extension (the inner joint plunges). Designed it that way in the hopes of getting more clean travel. Seems to have worked.

thats what most people dont realize. Is cv bind is because at droop or bump your suspension is the shortest so the axle itself rubs the inside of the cup while it rotates. When the control arms are parallel to the ground is when the axle is pulled out the most. So when setting up suspension. Make it so there is about 1/8" slop in the cv axle while your arms are flat. And you'll be good to go.
