And yes, I know the springs are not pointing in the same direction. I will pull and fix later. The other side is in alignment.

Hey Tony, Did you wind up moving the "slider stopper" collars up since the AGM sliders are taller/longer ... I imagine if not that would limit up travel?

I did readjust my collars. I only allow for about 1.5-2" of up travel before allowing the slider to hit the collar. The reason being is I want the upper spring rate to help with the highway ride, and light trail ride if you will.......but then once it has gone up about that 1.5-2" (which isn't the aval amount of up travel because this is measured at the shock) and then actually get into the combined spring rate. That doesn't. Limit overall up travel at all, just gets into the combined spring rate faster.

Once it hits the collar, wouldn't that take the upper spring completely out of the equation since the slider can't move any higher up the shock body? At that point you wouldn't be using the combined spring rate, it would be just the spring rate of the lower spring since that's the only spring that can compress at that point.

Sorry yes, explained it backwards, combined spring rate until it hits the collar then basically on just the lower spring rate.... Damn mall crawler catching my mistakes HAHAHA :D
