Well, I took the advise of many in this thread and installed the new 4-6" Fox shocks to get some real measurements.
1. I have 3" of front bump stop, and have a Synergy Drag Link Flip Kit. I also already have extended front brake lines.
2. I found a dirt pile and drove the driver front tire up until the rear wheels lost traction.
3. The driver side shock completely compressed to the rubber O ring and i still had about 1/4" gap between the bump stop.
4. The passenger side shock extended to the 11" advertised, the 3" EVO coil unseated about 1/4".
5. I have MC adjustable front bump stops and am thinking if I add another 1" (4" total) the shocks won't bottom out.
6. I have a set of RK coil retainer clips in my garage that will keep the coils from unseating.
7. I have flat fenders, so tire/fender contact is not an issue.
**Anyone see any problems with running 4" of bump stop if I am still getting 11" of travel? Or should I ditch these shocks for something a little shorter so I can use less bump stop? Thanks,
