Mike, I'm using OEM leaf springs (this junk is heavy) but in the future I would like to buy Calvert mono leaf.

Last Night I did measure front end travel as you asked lifting the car by K-Member, That's right? If yes, front end travel is 4"

So, about the Shocks, my concern is also about durability. I was looking for Vikings but as you know I live in Brazil and buy parts in US is very expensive for me. I can't buy Shocks every year. So if Rancho 9 ways will works for my application will be perfect because is not so expensive than Vikings or QA1.

Thanks for your advices Mike!
