I have a bit of a unique set up on my D2.. see here about the hydro bump stops: https://discoweb.org/index.php?threads/hydraulic-bump-stops-on-a-d2.98002/page-4#post-1109562
Terrafirma's were tore up pretty good due to those blue dish things I put in with the hydro stops, and my heart sank when I saw that the shaft was on top (skinny tube) rather than the bottom, which means it's tough to determine how much clearance I need with the Bilsteins. I was under the impression going in that the TF shock was way fatter than the bilstein, so I'd be ok with bilstein
I grinded about 1.5" off the top lip of the spring seat (blue part) which gives me a fair bit more clearance.
Other than pulling the springs and cycling the suspension I see no way to make sure Im ok other than going riding. But honestly I can't be bothered to pull the springs, the $200 tradeoff to blow a shock is not worth my time
The point of this post is to get a rough idea if anyone thinks there's no way I'll clear it on compression? Or is it droop I'm concerned about? I tried to figure it out and my brain is no good
Off topic.. I had a bear encounter today...
