Upper Stableload, gap?

I swapped my upper (and lower) Stableloads onto this new truck, a 2005 F350. One of them is riding on the upper leaf at ride height, the other is about a 1/4 inch away.

I'm wanting to trim at least the one up, to eliminate the harsher ride I believe it's giving me. Also adding some Fox shocks with adjustable compression. How much gap are you guys leaving for suspension travel?

I'm also going to fabricate a new block that's one inch taller to level it some with the trailer, and also in case it causes a little lower stance.

Thanks for the info!

    Hi All

    Mine are in contact with no load in bed. Called Torklift because I was going to take about an inch off and they said don't. Should they be in contact with no load?? I took them off for around town driving without the rig but don't feel like putting them on and off every time I load up.

    Only about 1/4-1/2" gap on my 2002 Super Duty with little to no air in the bags. Rancho adjustable shocks helped my unloaded ride more than anything. That being said, it's an older Super Duty so, well, ya...Ride is not a it's strength.
