When you upgrade GQ coils and shocks, the coils are larger over all diameter
and the shocks (usually) are also bigger..............has anyone found a way to stop the
two coming into contact with eachother..??

I have Dobinson coils and the OME shocks 'bit the dust'.

New shock now in place......ready to be 'eaten' by the coil when articulating.....

I had the same issue with Lovell coils and dobsion shocks ended up spacing out the bottom shock mount.

adjustable arms to bring the lower length and or upper length to what it should be for the correct pinion angle.

This sounds like a plan........will try it out.

Yep longer lower arms, and maybe a small shock spacer if needed.
