Not sure I follow...if the front drop on the springs is 1" on the LGT, wouldn't you need to add that drop to whatever the drop on the mounts alone are?
I've seen everything from 3/8 to 5/8 on the top hat switch. If it's in fact 5/8 (or even, splitting the difference, 1/2") I'd be happy with that front drop, as that would even up the wheel gaps nicely and keep the nice ride the stock springs have.
Because I'm mostly leaning towards the stock springs, the Bilsteins would be WAY overdamped. While they'd probably be fine on the Epics, I'm still not sure I want to go that route. If, after going to the Koni's on stock springs, I want to go lower after the fact, I have that option on the koni's, or the option to send my Bilstein take-offs away for a rebuild and have them optimized for the Epic spring rates, which I think would ride better than the HD's.
Thanks for the input! Much appreciated.
