Hi all, anyone know what the "stock" rear suspension travel is? On my car, when I received it, the swaged tubes were making contact at full droop when the car was jacked up, with the QA1 shocks on it, and was getting maybe 2" of travel on the rear wheels. I do not know if they were ever set up correctly, as the car us just a roller. If I take the shocks out and adjust my rod ends way out, I can get a whole lot more travel, 3.44" without any contact of the pushrod with the upper arm, BTW 3.44" is also about what I can get with the push rod disconnected. However, the rod ends are way out to get this travel. My push rod is a 12" long, 5/8 ID, looks like .81" OD (which is odd, as everything I see online is 7/8") LH/RH swaged tube. In the setup where I get the most travel, I would like to have a 14" rod on there. Seems a little strange.
What is normal out there? I have read rear travel is limited on most cars, but just looking for hard numbers. My setup I am assembling does not have the shock at the stock position, so I am not limited by over extension/compression of the dampener.
