64" rear swap...and shocks

[lochenjons]

What shocks and how much travel are you guys using for your 64" swaps? I'm using 14.5" travel in the front with my 52"s and I think I am (or close to) maxing them out both way (bottoming and fully extending)

I'm planning on using either some 15" travel Doestech or Big Black Cock Shocks inboarded with my 64s, flip, and 6" shackle. Hope that helps.

I higly doubt those will be long enough. Who knows I could be wrong but if I'm using up all of my 14.5" on 52"s I can't imagine an extra .5" being enough for 64"s

inboarding 'em adds travel. someone here explained it quite well, but don't feel like searching for it. the way I think of it now is a triangle. The slanted side will be longer, thinking in terms of one of the geometry theories...Other than that, you really don't have many choices in a shock longer than 15" for leafs...maybe a custom built application.

but valving is affected by the inboarding...that's why I'm leaning towards the Doestech so that they can factor that in when they're valved for me.
