Greetings -

I've ordered SLR AAL 3 pack (no shackles at this time - I want to avoid max lift in front with t-bar crank) and Bilstein 5100's. However, I had questions about the setup that I was hoping to discuss with SLR, but it looks like they went ahead with the order without calling me first - which I specifically asked that they do. Oh well, I suppose now I'm a member of the "SLR Customer Disservice Club"

My questions have to do with rear sway bar. I assume, based on design of the sway bar, that there can be some problem with sway bar and shock contact, which is why SLR asks with or without sway bar. With any setup, does this prevent temporary removal of sway bar for offroad use?

What is "spring over" and "spring under"? - just curious

Is it most beneficial to go ahead and get 20% stiffer Bilsteins all around (I plan on eventually replacing front bumper, but not sure if there is a need for added stiffness in rear - will not tow anything, and will drive on street with sway bar intact)?

Is it customary for SLR to bill credit card before shipping?

Thanks much, in advance, for any help provided!

Cheers!

Most members like myself who offroad just take the rear sway bar off for good. Your not going to notice a difference especially when your adding the AAL's and Bilstein shocks. And, when you offroad, you will have better articulation.

Spring over is when the leaf spring in the back sets on top of the axle. Spring under is the leaf spring mounted under the axle(just like the Xterra).

It is beneficial to go ahead with the longer rear shocks and the 20% siffer up front if you plan to add a front aftermarket bumper and a suspension lift.

Good luck with SLR!

I can certainly notice a difference between on/off. However, its not really that big of a deal so I've had it off for a few months (mostly cause I'm lazy). The front makes a huge difference.
