[QUOTE="hyrepower, post: 1886796, member: 15167"] I never implied that at all. Have been in the off-road racing scene since I’ve been a kid, I have a little bit more than a novice knowledge of how suspension works. A preload collar does reduce down travel, impossible not to when lifting using preload. You gain up travel, but lose down-travel. You should ALWAYS HAVE MORE DOWN TRAVEL THAN UP TRAVEL. However when using preload collars or lift springs, on OEM struts, you’ll most always have too little down travel to have advantageous performance over using the OEM configuration. I was simply saying that 1.0” Eibach springs will handle better than 1.5” collars, bar none. I have tried it and they simply do. I would say they are good enough to live with forever, but as picky as I am, and being I actually use my truck in the desert, I will be buying aftermarket coilovers as soon as they are released.
