    I hate to say it Matt but maybe you should have not cut the spings and went from there. I could be totally misunderstanding all this though. Hope it all works out for you!

    What gets me is that i found pictures of XK's running the OME MD and the front was lifted ~2". I didn't want to add 2 more inches on that.

    Hopefully the little bit I cut off will work out. If i'm 1/2" lower than i want to be i can always throw some strut spacers in.

    To add a positive spin to this thread, the additional weight of my rear bumper and leverage from the tire lowered my rear about 1/2". That adds some slack with where my front can end up to still be in my "happy" range. 1/2" higher than it is now would be nice, but a 1/2" lower isn't the end of the world either.

    It looks like my guestimation of .25-.8" taller is pretty much spot on. Passenger side is still apart due to other issues, but I've gained about 1" as of now. I expect it to settle some so figure somewhere about 1/2" taller than my OME HD + strut spacer setup.

    Looking forward to getting the other side done so I can test drive.

    I'll get pics once its all back together. The extra inch is too much but once it settles I think it'll be workable.
