6" lift...no shock travel
I noticed after putting my All Sports 6" double A-Arm that the factory shock is extremely compressed...hardly any room for travel - maybe an inch or so.
Wouldn't this negatively impact the suspension? |

Re: 6" lift...no shock travel
Factory shocks just don't work well with a LT lift, that is why the best ones come with new shocks that are different. But you can get atv shocks, many here have, and it what I would do. A few other shocks have been found to work for certain things.

It's not a long travel lift though. Just a regular 6in a-arm lift from all sports.

Re: 6" lift...no shock travel
The stock shocks can also get weak and sag, usually you can see it when stock as the tires will angle in. Either way they only allow for a couple inches of travel, they don't move much. With a lift you still have stock travel. With a single arm you don't want that much travel or the tire leans a lot.
