[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 406281, member: 1780"] It sounds like you possess a good bit of intellect on air shocks, riddle me this. I've always read that when setting up your rig for air shocks, 4-6" of shaft showing is the sweet spot at static ride height for air shocks. Upon discussing this matter a good while ago, someone said "Well what about different length shocks, the sweet spot for a 18" shock won't be in the same vacinity as a 12" shock...." I didn't know enough about them at the time to argue that point, but best I can gather, it has nothing to do with the travel of a shock, it directly references the 4-6" of air space between the piston and the top of the shock that creates the air spring, right? (This merely being a general rule of thumb, on your typical, average crawler.) [/QUOTE]
