I currently run Blackmax shocks: 0 -2" lift front (B8516); 1-3" lift rear (B8518).
Looking at the front, the B8516's have a range of 13.5" to 22.3" for a total travel of 8.8". At ride height the shocks are at c.19", added bumpstops are 1" just stopping the shocks fully compressing, which therefore equates to 5.5" up travel and 3.3" down travel. From reading of other threads I read that people target a 50:50 up and down travel balance, clearly I am a way off that with c. 63:37. Should I be considering changing my shocks?
If the answer is yes, is there any knowledge of how much down travel can be achieved on OME 933HD 2" lift springs, before the spring is likely to unseat?
Thanks in advance.
