I think that would seriously limit the flex. As seen in the photo, that would shorten things by 3 inches! With the SL, there is no chance of the spring falling out like there was with the RR since there is a 4" extender on the centering bumper. The Superrides that I'm replacing were about 27" extended and that gave me less flex than with the old Bilstein 5150s I had on previously. The Rancho's should limit right at the point the brake line gets tight and as long as the head doesn't snap off, like the Bilstein's did, they should be perfect. My only concern is that the diameter of the Rancho's is too large and will interfere with the SL drop bracket on the passenger side (the Superride touches).
