i've started looking at different types of shock absorbers and would like a little help in selection
their seems to be two main types either shockers that will take either 1.9" diameter springs or 2.25" diameter springs any preference on which is best most shockers seem to come with either single adjust bump and rebound or a twin adjuster
i,m looking at either gaz/avo or spax shockers i have measured the total movement on the rear suspension and it varies distance between centre to centre of shocker mount bolts of 7 inches fully closed and a total travel to 17 inch fully open i realise that the suspension will never travel this full distance but what length shockers are people using open and closed lengths the total travel on the front suspension is again from centre to centre closed to open is 9 inches to 15 inches
the questions i would like answered are
1. 1.625" bodys or 2" body
2. single or double rebound is double worth the money
3. sugested open and closed lengths for front and rears
4. what lbs/ins rated springs are you useing
i would like to thank you in advance for this rather long winded explanation and for everyones help so far
