Thanks for the pics Chuck. looks like I have some trimming to do on the front fenders to accomodate my new tires. When we first installed this system I was running 35's that were worn down to 33's.
Also seems you are correct on the rear shocks limiting up travel. I just assumed the coils were automatically the limiting factor but guess not. I called Duff's and they are aware of the issue and said they had to make a choice to either limit compression or extension because have both was not possible for some reason. They suggested I incorporate bump stops.

I cant tell in the photos but if you lose the outboard shocks and just kept the inboards would you get more travel?

I wasn't there to get a good look but that thing is unstable enough as it is with 8 shocks. Can't imagine losing a couple even if I did make them quick disconnect for trail use. I think there must be a better solution rather than a band-aid.

there was only a 1/4" diff between the outboard and inboard...so that wouldnt really work at all. good thought tho
