That would depend on how you drive and the terrain. It works in some areas, but not all.

The shock to use really depends on your setup and how high you want your rig to ride.

You can always use a shorter spring to help set the height but still give you the longer down travel.

This is totally my opinon but atleast where i crawl over 50% of articulation is just too much. The weight shift causes some funky handling

i was eading on some other guys forums and they were saying somthing about you do no want to have to much travel because it could hurt youin competition or just plain crawling
you could break something if a wheel gets stuck
