Not sure I get exactly what you're asking, so here goes. DSE supplies an AFCO 5" shock, somewhere in the 13.5" ride height range. Looking at it, it provides about 1.5" in compression travel before you reach the bumpstop. On their Quadralink set up it is dialed in and works really well and my guess is it is made for ride height similar to Stacey's 69.
I had mismatched shocks between those in the rear and Strange in the front. The right decision for me, not everyone would agree, was to get RdieTech triples all around. Their shock body is monotube compared to AFCO's twin and a bit longer so the 5" stroke is about an inch taller at ride height. Not the direction I was hoping to go, but had to make the sacrafice to get the travel I wanted and may need to do something about it (i.e. relocate upper mounts or get a slightly shorter spring to buy myself 1/2" or so).
Last comment Randy, get ALL your weight in the car before deciding on any mods. You might be in for a plesant surprise. |
