So there are two different SAW coilover types? Mine adjust from the bottom.

yes, two types. The longer ones like I have and the kind for non-bracket lifted applications:

Are those shcoks with rezzys only for the rear of a lifted titan?

I have the reg SAW's in the front (4" suspension lift / Just A-arms and shocks) but I didn't know they made anything for the rear. I have DR's back there...

I thgouth only the Rancho's like I had were filled with foam rubber, the stock non 4x4/OR shocks are better than the OR ones (excpet for the springs)

Re-checked my measurements. Front: 44 1/2", Rear 42 1/2". Now that makes me uncertain of how high the front was previously, this def. raised it some.

my front sits at 44.5 at the fender with my stage one kit alone. Do your cooper ST's measure true 35's? My toyos are a little taller than 35 so that could be the differance.

My front is 44" and rear is 42.5" with my BFG tires which are a TAD bit over 34"

Oops: I just have normal SAW coilovers + 4" spindles.

They're actually a pretty true 35. These rub, my ProComp M/T 35's did NOT. Consider that my stock shocks had 44k on them as well. I've noticed that since I installed the lift, over 30k ago, the front has settled thanks to the el crappo shocks. Greg said that 3/4" preload would put it where it should be, and it did I guess, if you are sitting at 44.5" on fairly new factory shocks. Also, I have the TC shackles on the back, so there's 3/4" lower on the back too.

FWIW...I measured these Coopers awhile back, right after they were new.. Circumference=109.25", therefore, C=pi*D; therefore D=C/pi=109.25/3.14159= 34.8"

I on the factory offroad struts with about 27k on the odo. I am hopping to get the front up about 1.5-2". Will this be possible with the SAW's coilover alone? Or will i need UCA too?

Dude, I was just messing with your BIG MONSTER HEAD!

And FYI I had Pro Comp wheels but ditched them cuz I wanted to Pinch the 12.50's and put them in the sweet spot. less rubbing and more clearance up front(with stock off set and width) As for the rears YOUR tires stick out more. When I pull the bedsides the tires WILL tuck under nicely, WILL YOURS! try not to buckle your bedsides trying.

Oh well, if you do theres always glass bedsides

Sorry about the jack 54warrior
