Ok fellas - those with remote res shocks; at your static ride height on level ground how much up travel do yo have? What lift height and how much down travel, what's yours extended length at full droop?

Currently looking at getting a set of shocks that will give me 5" up travel when at static ride height and 12" total down travel on full droop. add a set of Daystar EVS shock protectors/bump stops....Do reckon this will be enough? Some additional bump stopping may be required but I am hoping it will not?

6 up 6 down from ride height.
2.5" bump
4.5" s/l + 1.5" b/l and 3" gaurd lift plus 1"MM/L.
You still running the Dana 30 front? Dont know much about these foam bump stops though.
D30 tucks up nicely under the car for good uptravel. Was a bit harder with the currie but we got there in the end.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes still a D30, but now its changed and a little bit more reinforced. Swapped in an XJ HPD30 then burnt on a TNT Truss - it's still a D30 and small but it will do for now ;-)

I have a Currie; 8 x Currie SA's and Anti-Rock; does that count as a Currie?
