I did a little searching on this and didn't find much that was too conclusive. I didn't spend a ton of time searching, so I am open to any links anyone finds, as well as just regular answers...
I know at this point that I am unsatisfied with the shocks I have, and with upcoming upgrades I know they wont suffice.
The plan:
1. Eliminate upper stem. I will use some shock conversions that we make here at work.
2. Custom make my own bar pin eliminators. I was gonna clone the rusty's unit, until I noticed that they turn the post side to side, which will cause binding. Instead I will do something to the effect of a JKS that keeps it front to back.
3. Keep current 4.5" coils, upgrade to ACOS or 5.5" spring later
4. Install Y-link long arms this weekend
Obviously these two things are going to effect my shock length around 1" and maybe a little more.
So with a current spring of 4.5" lift, and Y-link long arms going in this weekend, and a possible future ACOS or 1" longer spring, what extended and compressed shock lengths should I shoot for?
