Anyone know when RPG quit selling the -1.5 springs? I bought my Stage 3 last summer and have had an issue hitting the bump shocks all the time in town. But just last week figured out that I did not install the low profile impact pads on the bump shocks. Will be getting a set of the low profile and will see if that fixes things. But I do no know if I have the -1.5 springs or the 0 or ??

I'd say about May June time frame. What is your current measurement of your rear fender?

Looks like 26 1/2". Have 0 offset wheels so little hard to get exact.

I bought my stage at the beginning of June last year. Probably a -1.5?

While I don't think I have dropped I want to be sure. I will try low profile impact pads first. I have more clearance than squating dog had between bump shock & frame even with longer pad on. Also more from ground I have 42 3/4 from ground with stock 35" tires

Mine appear to be right in spec with what RPG says they should be. 10k miles moderate amount of off road. No street queen but not a once a week desert racer either.
