After blowing out my Superide shocks which I got with the Superlift back in May, I decided I needed something a bit beefier. Matt suggested the Rancho RS19287, an RS9000 Pro Series remote reservoir model. Today, I decided to check the full flex limits (swaybar disconnected) of an XK with the Superlift. With a compressed lenghth of 18.5" and an extended length of 30.5", the following photos show that the RS19287 should be a perfect fit. BTW, I ordered a set after taking the measurements and will post the install photos here also.
There are a couple of shots which show some other problem areas with the Superlift like the rear drive shaft rubbing the fuel tank and some very close tire clearance near the upper spring mount.
31" at full extension...
The compression side...
Max compression
Back on the flexed side, the spring is quite loose...
The brake line is the limiter...
Here is the problem I have been having with the drive shaft boot. I cut off the side of the tank guard because it kept catching on the boot and causing small tears.
And here, another clearance concern. Not touching, but close!
