Mocked up on lowest possible setting combination. Here is full compression with an 18" rim and 275 tire...



1.75" clearance to framerail at full compression, with axle rotated forward a bit more than it would otherwise be if the upper link tabs were welded on, so figure actually 2.0" clearance...







2.0" rim tuck at full compression..



Recommended ride height for "race" of 50/50 bump travel (~2.5" bump, ~2.5" rebound, total 5.10 travel) equals ~13.5" eye-to-eye on the VariShock (full extended length is 16.10")...





At 2.5" of bump travel, 18" rim is hanging 0.5" below wheel lip.
