I`m about to set up 2.5" 16" fox air shocks up front and 2.0" 18" Race runners in the rear.and I`m not to sure about how the internal bump stops work.
If i set up the shocks with 5" of shaft showing am i going to get 5" of up travel?
Do I still need external bump stops?

I think I`ve read to much or not enough on the right info :eek:

Just to double check how to set up:
Remove the valve and fully compress the shock
Completly fill the shock with the weight of oil chosen
reinstall the valve
bolt up to the rig and get full axle drop and charge with nitro to about 130psi
drop the rig back down shake it around abit and check ride hight
and if its all good your done?

you will get 5" of up travel mine are set up with 4 inchs showing and i bottom them out which isnt good. get some bump stops also get good limiting straps considering the shocks weigh about 5 pounds you dont want to be bashing them bottoming out and holding the axle when your flexed
just my 2 cents
