After measuring the front ends travel I have found the following.......at static height the shock has a grease mark showing it has compressed 1 1/4" on both sides......I tied a zip tie to to the rod just above the shock body and jacked the car up until the wheels hung in the air and the shocks traveled or extended 2 1/8" each side, and an extended length of 15 1/4" long from the underside of the fenderwwell to the lower bolt hole.......... thats 3 3/8 of shock travel total! That sure doesnt seem right to me, when I launch the it car only extends the shocks 2 1/8" from its ride heigth!

looking at this video, the car shows very little front end rise at the launch, verifing the 2 1/8" shock extension before bottoming out



Not enough travel... a lot of guys have the front
lifted up so they like the ride height... but you
cut the travel down at the same time... soft front
bars are a big plus... you gain stored energy to
help push the front up but you have to have long
enough shocks to let it... it should also move freely
