Sizing shockwaves

[JRouche]

Travel. Thats the main thing to look for. They are all identified by the stroke of the shock and length at ride height, you can get any of their ends attached (pin, eye, bearing or whatever). So yer ride height is gonna need to be determined. Then see how much room you have between the upper and lower shock mounts. Say its 12". You look at their site and fine a SW that has a ride height of 12". That puts the shock around the middle of the travel, maybe a lil more compression length. And remember, if its on a standard A-arm suspension the total travel of the shock may sound too short but you are levering it with the A-arm so the wheel will have more movement for a given SW travel. But really, its all about the distance between the mounting locations at ride height. Sounds too simple?? It is simple, its a air spring. They make one, I think, front SW. Its the 1000 series. JR



Oh, but call them, they are a great bunch of guys. Every time I have called the tech has been very knowledgeable and they really do know the product. And thats not even asking for a tech guy, thats the guy answering the call, amazing in this day and age. There was a slight digitized sound to the voice and it sounded like an Indian guy every time but hey.. LOL Just KIDDING!!! That was my credit card company. Hahahaha
