G-transition droop travel

[truebrit]

Just put some Junfac G-transitions on my wraith in the droop set-up and notice that there is only about 8mm of shock shaft visible, is this normal, is this a usable amount?

Yes it is. I run the same shocks on my 11# wraith in full droop suspension setup. The reason being is the shocks are fully compressed at static height, you will have 0 uptravel and a ton of down travel. So in other words the weight of the axles will allow the shock to drop the suspension and hug the rocks or whatever terrain your crawling over. It's typically not a popular setup for the wraith guys that like speed and some crawling, but my setup is strictly for rock crawling at very low speeds so it fits my driving style. Try it both ways and see what you like, I run full droop with lowering kit and my links are level with the skid.
