Wow, good catch. I just re-watched your last video and I’m guessing you’ve watched a time or two as well haha.

So you think that the shock is hitting full extension? It looks like it might be. Now you’ve got me thinking.

Oh, I've spent many a minute watching the videos.

Honestly, I don't know if it's hitting full extension. I am pretty sure when I raced at BIR in Sept for T&T when the shocks were loose I did. Since I've tightened it up, I don't know. Not sure how to check without a travel sensor. I have an Oring on the rod of the shock that can tell me if it's bottoming out as it just moves the Oring to whatever the most retracted position is, but I don't have a method to determine how much extension i'll get.

Checking the travel actually came from my post on the FB drag race suspension group. The guy that owns the Grub Worm T56 camaro that runs mid 6's said to check that and it totally made sense. He has like 6" of separation travel which is obviously a different, much more serious setup than mine.

I paid for 7" of shock travel, I am going to use it!!!

I paid for 7" , I am going to use it!!!

This is a good idea... I might have to assess my situation...

My shocks came with o-rings on the shafts, that's how I knew I had enough remaining travel to drop them for the added droop.

I think tightening them up would help to keep them from over extending them. But that might not help your 60’ - I don’t know. I think you’re getting close to 3+” of extension/separation - the car really moves vertically

First ever personalized plate and yeah went full ridiculous.

Turned the other nutsert, drilled the hole in the passenger side LCA bracket and pulled the really hot glue gun out and melted everything together.

Next up I gotta order the rear control arm reinforcement stuff from Trick Chassis
