So I am curious, have you ever pulled the spring off of the shock to see how much wheel travel you are getting? I would really like to know what kind of wheel travel is available to a well modified Yerf front end. QUOTE]
No I haven't, but I will. I may have to opportunity to do this today.
I focused on dependability, function and correct articulation while trying to stay within the boundaries of a "stock based build" ( I really like that term. Accurate description!). I knew all along travel would be severely limited by the shock length so my main concern was making sure the a-arm and tie rod travel would far exceed any shock that would fit. Seeing how there are length and position limitations, I resigned to the fact it's most likely as good as it gets. The shocks shown are intended for fabrication and set up only. They will ultimately be replaced by shocks that will afford more travel. The plan is to use these to discover spring rate, sag, rebound etc. then have a set made.
