Trying to understand how one affects the other. I get that overtravel is a bad thing and will tear seals, too short and it bottoms out and blows the shock rebound. What i cant wrap my head around is the free arch going into the equation. And adding bar pin eliminators into the equation, that adds about an extra inch of travel, correct?
I think this is why my ass end is weird after <5k miles...suspect the new springs blew the new shocks due to more free arch (5.5” vs 4”).
Stock shocks have an extra 0.81” of length when extended vs kyb (20.61” vs 19.8”), but less compressed length (12.73” vs 12.95”). Travel length of stock shock is just over 1” more than the KYB (7.88” stroke vs 6.85”).
gabriel hijacker shocks i have on hand should fix the problem, correct? They have a 7.73” stroke length, 20.77” extended and 13.04” compressed length up to 200psi max. Add the BPE’s and that becomes 8.73”/21.77”/14.04” respectively?
