Did you need to use the top hats of stock suspension or anything to install the BC?

Also, how far down are the perches sitting in your pictures?

I reused nothing. The kit came with everything attached, new hardware and also camber plates for the front. The height is level, with the rears maxed and still room to drop up front (1 more inch, approx.), if needed.

Default Coilovers: 2wd vs 4wd

Hi Jim,
I am no subject matter expert but I would imagine those kits will be fine. From my understanding, the main difference between 2wd and 4wd kits lays in the spring rates, 4wd being higher. Therefore using the 4wd kit on the 2wd would be fine. The other way around would be not as the ride height may suffer from the softer spring. So as manufacturer, guess it makes sense to make 1 kit with the higher spring rates and cover both variants.

Just my thoughts Jim. BTW I love the BC kit that I have!

And don't forget Jim, you can always call the manufacturer and the advice from the pros. Might even be able to get custom rate springs for your ride!

Eg6er how is the alignment specs after installing the BC? Is there a enough adjustment to bring the camber etc close to spec?

Default Trailering…?

Looking to trailer with my '12 Outlander GT. Saw you guys talking about coil overs. Is this something that would be a good idea, in order to decrease the drop on the back end? I'm looking to keep the ride level, and decrease body roll.
