Right that kind of brings me back to the original point though, with a 2" spring lift you're basically running with the struts dropped an extra 2 inches all the time, so even though the CVs stay in their angle the struts can now bottom out. Maybe I'm thinking that's a bigger problem than it actually is but for me it sounds like just as big of an issue as CVs going beyoind their range. But also it seems with just a 2" spring lift that you can't fit 32s without a lot of rubbing or cutting the fenders, especially since the springs 'settle' over time and you never quite get a full 2" like you would with spacers/sfd.
Is a 2" SFD really that complicated? From what I've seen the install is pretty straight forward and you may need to get longer brake lines. The parts seem reasonably priced too. It seems a lot more ideal to do a 2" SFD, 2" spacers and then stiffer springs/struts that ride at the same height as OEM than to use spacers alone or something like OME or AC lfit springs alone. You would get more lift, CVs operate at OEM angles and struts also ride at OEM position.
Is there anything 'unsafe' or overly complicated about the SFD other than the install?
