    I got the 919s, they fit perfect, of course, I talked to the folks over at indy4x, the 919s are a tiny bit taller, but they have a much higher weight capacity, so if you plan on hauling stuff or towing, that would be the difference. Not sure if they ride different or not...

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Nice post, that is the same info I used in my decision, if it requires more lbf/in to compress the 919 spring, that means it will sit higher under normal load or loaded than the 912 or 913, which equals more lift Add a spacer, and voila, you are that much higher. But that requires that much more torsion bar crank as well. Its just a matter of what you want, and the ultimate reason, the 912s and 913s were a 6-8 week, 919s were in stock shipped the next day
