suspension travel with hotchkis rear leafs

[night_rider_692004]

Hello!

I want to install my hotchkis springs and due to my disc brake conversion I want to know the suspension travel distance=> Is it smaller than for the original ones because the hotchkis springs are harder or is it the same?

Perhaps I have to limit the travel more than the original.

Disc brakes or drum the travel will be limited (eventually) by the bump stops. If you are using lowered springs you will have reduced travel but the axle will still go no further then the stops... You shouldn't have any issues with the discs as long as the flex hose is comparible in length to the original.

I would like to add on to what Mark stated. Yes, they are lower than your old stock springs, but they also have a higher rate than the stock ones. That means the new springs will flex less than the old ones for a given applied force. I would not worry.
