Ron is spot on. The chassis I built uses the AME IFS components. My particular setup provides 1.688" of shock travel for 3" of wheel travel. I am at the point where the truck is low enough that using all 3" of wheel compression travel will create an interference with the inner fender structure. We are going to run inner fenders so it is a challenge.

If I can dig it up Gea I have a spread sheet I wrote that will calculate your motion ratio based on dimensions you take. Although with the car sitting there move the spindle up 3" and then measure your shock travel. Divide them an that is your motion ratio.

After several hours in the garage today, I think the body saw is coming out!
