Re: Advice Requested / Front Coils & Stance

In my Opinion, if you run your car in winter, salt..I would not do Ridetech. Aluminum framed shock and no boot..aluminum and salt corrode.

Would you have any alternatives in mind in terms of getting the OEM stance back? It is my daily, but I do take good care of her.

The rod ends that screw onto the piston shaft are longer. Everything else is the same as the "lower" kit. I'll get some pics up in a week or two. The reason for the second kit is because the max height for the "lower" kit is lower than stock.

I took pics but its hard to tell any difference. Stock front fender height was 27-3/4" (which I believe is pretty low for a stock Marauder). Lowest setting on my Ridetechs is 27-1/4". Highest is 28-3/4". If I would have had the standard kit, the high and low would have been 1" less. So in actuality I could have put the standard kit on and put them on the high side and still retained stock ride height, but the springs would have had a lot of preload and the ride may have been too stiff for me. I currently have my kit on the lowest setting with almost no pre load, and it rides fantastic. Worth every penny.

I have cut 1 coil out of the front of every Marauder I have. I wouldn't do it any other way to be honest.
