Question Truck Traks owners?

Hey guys how much space do you have between your snubber and spring?
I bought these second hand so i just wanted to see what everyone else was running
I have mine set with about a 3/4 inch gap but there is plenty of room for adjustment if I need it.

Thanks
Andy

I run mine at 1 1/4" spacing. My truck is driven every day on the rough industrial roads of Los Angeles. When I run less, the truck is too bouncy for my taste.

Like Jay (TT's mystro) i run around 1 1/4 on the street and about 3/4th's on the track. Here is a neat easy trick. Get a piece of white chalk and rub it across the top of the snubber. Take a spin and you will see the imprint of the snubber hitting the spring above it. This will help you even each side out, center it, and in my case i see "chalk" with moderate driving at 1 1/4 on the street so you may be having hard contact with only 1/2 inch on the street. Check it out.

****, i have had mine set at 1 1/2 and it did ride fine. By the way i am running 1" inch drop Eibach's (in reality more that that) and 2" drop shackles in the rear and the TTracks work fine for me.
