[QUOTE="nick c, post: 896973, member: 16567"] Sorry to post a 'dumb' question in your build thread, but it's an issue I am running into now with some work I'm doing on my junker. I've hit a brick wall... :mad: I notice on the rear end, your shocks have very little compression left in them, my truck is leaf sprung all around and my front end has lots more droop then compression. So is it 'OK' (read: not going to bust up my shocks) to run them the way you are to allow for more droop and less compression? I know if I do that, it might be best to run a bump-stop to keep from bottoming out the shock, but I didn't see any on yours. Just hoping to steal some ideas from ya, rather then make a mistake and try and re-do it over and over till I learn from it. edit: oh and I've looked for longer shocks but I am running the longest ES9000's I could find on the market. I think they have just under 14.5" travel. nice build btw... :cool: [/QUOTE]
