Coilovers returned from Radflo and limit straps are in. Spent a few hours last night getting everything on and adjusted.
I don't have a lot of data to go on yet, but I was able to drive about 1/4 mile on a really bad pothole-laden gravel road at about 10-15mph. Let me just say it made a MASSIVE difference. I was bouncing a bit in my seat but there was absolutely NO harshness on droop. Before, nearly every hole resulted in a big "CLUNK" at the bottom. I'll take it. 100% satisfied so far. Now, who knows if this is attributed to coilovers, straps, or both. But I hope it stays this way.
Overall I reduced front droop by about 1/4" at the shock, which is usually close to 1/2" at the wheel. I think that is probably worth it if it means my shocks won't explode after 12k miles and for a much nicer ride. We'll see how my articulation looks on slow speed trails and if it feels much different.
One negative... the lower limit straps mount made it really challenging to reach & tighten the lower shock mount bolt (which is already a struggle at 155 ft/lbs). I was using a swivel joint and pulling the torque wrench towards me at nearly full force and hit myself in the head with the bottom edge when it slipped off. Might need stitches. Head wounds bleed a lot!
