Skunk2 Sleeves on Stock Struts = Fail

This is with the perches all the way down.

About an inch or and in a half gap between the tire and fender.

Please tell me you used the Skunk2 Koni adapters? Koni guy said himself it wouldn't be wise to run it without, plus you will lose the warranty. BTW Told you so.

So if you have a coilover setup and it won't go low enough just buy shorter springs.

If you went an inch lower the control arms would be hitting constantly.

Also you might want to just weld on the inside of the bottom tube to aviod the weld interfering with the mating surface of the top hat and chassis.
