I dont know what you changed on the shock, but this is the gap you gain, which is about .75". If you changes the shock body length at the same time you just negated the gain.

Does flipping the LCA change the arc and dynamic camber gain?

I am really failing to see how flipping of that control arm affects anything other than shock travel length...You could do the same effect with longer or shorter fork at the end of the shock...what is that I am missing here?

it didn't do anything. it does not increase droop travel unless your want to raise the rear about an inch, which i did not want to do.

Yes, depending on spring rate and desired ride height you may end up with a loose spring at full droop. Either a helper spring to keep spring seated or reduce droop to keep spring captured. |

Good grief. Yes, it does. Raising the rear is the increased droop, thats literally the point of it. You just needed to counter with lowering the spring perch. No, a longer spring doesnt change things.

Either a helper spring to keep spring seated or reduce droop to keep spring captured. i was also at the "warning level" at the shock body on the passenger's side, so it let me thread it back up over that level. if i hadn't done that, the rears would be sitting higher about an inch. we're defining droop travel as how much the suspension falls from its sitting state when lifting, correct? |
I also looked into flipping the control arms to, in effect, add more threads for the KWv3's spring perch. so i can have extra room for a wider tire

What I was trying to say is that I don't see any suspension geometry changes aside from the things mentioned above |
