Front suspension maxed out. What do I do?

I have Cruiser coils in the rear and my front suspension is setting against the droop stops just for the vehicle to set level. Is there any way to lift the front more and let the suspension have some upward movement? Even an inch would be better than nothing.

Get some of those SDORI ball joint spacers so that you can recover some of your uptravel by loosening the preload on your torsion bars. Or, Solid Axle Swap it.

Well I forgot to mention that I already have them lol. If I install the 4Crawler diff drop can I cut down the droop stops 1 inch? Would love to go solid axle but not in my budget right now.

Sounds like you got the wrong LC springs ...

The RIGHT thing to do is lower the rear.

No, an inch of travel isn't enough, especially if you have to crank the tbars to the max to get it.
