Title: Front shocks too short when wheels hanging in the air-is this normal? Post by: Brandon Sinclair on March 30, 2010, 19:11:06 pm I noticed that when I install my front shocks onto the bj beam with the wheel hanging in the air and the shock fully extended that the shock is approx 1" short. I was wondering if the front shocks were designed this way to be a limiting factor to avoid damaging other front end parts or do I need longer shocks?
I am potentially missing 1" of weight transfer to the rear with these shocks. Can I use some sort of shock exetender for the top stud? I am using Boge shocks on the front. Thanks Title: Re: Front shocks too short when wheels hanging in the air-is this normal? Post by: Dave Rosique on March 30, 2010, 20:09:23 pm Hi Brandon,
What you described is normal on a stock BJ beam, and yes the shocks are built to limit travel unlike a K&L beam. If you extend the top stud, you could over travel the ball joints, plus it limits your nose down travel... ~Dave |
