Duster 800hp trans brake ladder bar car.
Am doing a coil over conversion and think i bought too short shocks. Only 4" shock travel witch gives about 2" susp travel.
Should i get new longer ones or is it worth trying?

The first coil over ladder bar Duster I raced had a set of three inch travel AVO My new Duster has a set of Strange 7 inch travel coil over with a set of RJ ladder bars and a diagonal link It is a street and strip car so the chassis guy bought the longest ones he could for that reason It rides nice and leaves okay, 1:43 60 ft. best so far, 10:34 at 128.6 running out of fuel in high gear Faster sooner, see my post on the broken 8 3/4

How much do you have?
I guess i can get the qa1s that have 5.3" of travel. these are the ones i have for the back.
If i go longer there is so much work involved that i could just put a strut front end on the car.
