Your ride height is perfect. How do you like the dg springs?

Thanks man! I think it is definitely perfect for a DD. It clears the gap nicely and the ride is not too harsh. tho I haven't tried any other set of springs.

how about those spacers, w/10 & 15, its not rubbing on the fender? Got a good pic?

No it doesn't rub even with passengers. Tho at least it didn't when I even loaded it with my things. I'll get a closer pic later.
