: Uptravel on rear shocks for TG 5" springs Jeep07 05-08-2008, 06:12 AM OK. I'm gonna redo my rear shock mounts and bumpstops to allow for more up travel. I know John's and Hobie's rigs don't even run bumpstops but how much up travel are you allowing for on the shocks? When I set the rig up I allowed for 4.5" of up travel which has since turned into about 3" of up travel which isn't nearly enough. So TG 5" people what are you allowing for up travel? Thx. a2b 05-08-2008, 09:29 AM it depends on how your springs are setup.:p how much up travel do you need? do you plan on over arching the springs? if your setup will only flat the springs, then put the bottom of the shock housing above where the spring flats and there you go. pmcfarland 05-08-2008, 09:55 AM i've always been a fan of 30% up 70% down mtbrjon 05-08-2008, 11:47 AM Our shocks will outdroop and outstuff the springs. Our tires hit the chassis so that's my bumpstop.:D ACE-CAGE-#29 05-08-2008, 04:51 PM The TG buggy is showing around 9" of shaft in the rear.

As said above, frame is the bumpstop. 14" Bilsteins...w/ no shaft in rear. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l164/ChopsHog/P4273184.jpg Skii4x$ 05-12-2008, 04:03 PM Our shocks will outdroop and outstuff the springs.
