69 camaro rear end travel help!

[jamesinark]

I'm in mock up stage (or starting as of last month) and the whole rear frame is being handbuilt by a friend of mine and myself,so we can tweak things here and there.I may be wrong (wouldn't be thefirst time),but aren't the rear shocks or c/o usually of a longer travel than the front?I would like to get the max out of both ends within reason.Don't want to open too many cans of worms at one time,but want to consider both ends and make the wisest decisions that I can make.I don't think 4" is enough personally at either end.I would prefer at least 5" in front if possible.I don't want to step on anyones toes,but with channeling the body and reworking some of the shock mounts for adjustabity I could have enough compliance to get through some of the parking lot ramps around town cuz i intend to drive the crap out of it when It is running.
