Thanks,
Tim, the travel will be about 2 - 3 in compression ond 3 - 4 in rebound.
And no it wont use all of that, and it won't look like a, well whatever those were.
And the intent is to use adjustable shocks to stiffen the ride, and slow the spring reaction down. That is what shocks do, not the springs.
May end up with 17 or 18 inch wheels with a 40 or 45 series tire, Z rated of course. As there will be no sidewall deflection now, the spring will become much more important to ride and handling.
I think with the proper shock setting and valving, and the proper shock
oil. I can make it ride as stiff as the 250/450 setup, if I wanted to.
Mark G. What have you got on the rears?
Variable rate valving also will come into play here.
I want to thank everyone for their input, please share more.
Again, Thanks
Gerald
