Default Travel Limits

Another noob question for you guys. I have been looking around have not been able to find any posts on how much to limit your travel. I have a basically stock ax-10 and right now it has almost 90 degrees of travel, way to much I know. I am going to ad stops on the inside of the shock and was wondering how much travel you guys recommend. What should I shoot for? Thanks in advance.

I run between 45 and 55 degrees of articulation. 90 is way too much. You could use a limiting strap.

Lots of personal preference on this question but I like just enough to clear the same size tires I'm running. That means I can lift one tire just over five inches off the ground which puts me in the 40 degree category but the 45-55 seems pretty standard.

Cool I was think about 45 degrees. I wasnt to far off then. Now I just need to figure out the best place to put the limiters. Thank you.

After moving the stock shock spacer to the inside try some fuel tubing on the outside of the shock shaft. If you need more than 2 inches of it between all four I'd be surprised. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1/2 inch each would be a good start. You can always trim it down.
