how to calculate shock travel
1) Extend the shock as far as it will go. Measure from the bottom mounting hole to the top mounting hole. Lets say this measurement is 24â. 2) Now Collapse the shock as far as it will go or up to the bump stop. Measure from the bottom mounting hole to the top mounting hole. Lets say this measurement is 18â. 3) Now subtract these measurements: 24â-18â= 6â. This 6â is the total shock travel.
