I have a question for guys running real low in the front like this, how much suspension travel do you honestly have left?

I run a 245/35/19 in the front, and I'm pretty low, but not this low... I've taken out the top of the wheel well, I've folded over the pinch weld on the frame to clear the tire... My problem is that on any decent bump my upper ball joint smacks the top of the shock tower.. I've literally run out of suspension travel.

I DD my car, our roads suck. I drive VERY cautiously, my front cross member, front bumper, and exhaust drag probably 10 times a day.

I do want to go lower, but I think my only option is to go to a lower profile tire, and a stiffer spring.

^^you need shorter shock bodies for your coils because you probably dont have any preload on your springs in order to have your Z slammed which your also riding your shocks and soon might blow. Royal T mentioned that Stanceworks & AST made a protype suspensions for those who want their Z slammed without messing with preload on the springs/coils. they also include shorter shock bodies. i'm just waiting on the updates or for them to release it already.

My issue isn't the shock bottoming out and running out of travel, my issue is the upper balljoint is hitting the shock tower.

My upper balljoint smacks the shock tower a good inch before my shock body is going to bottom out.

A shorter shock body won't help me with more travel.

Is the solution pretty much just stiffen the springs so it is less likely to fully bottom out?

How much front suspension travel do you guys honestly have?
