Hi,
I am running a set of walsh +3 long travel a-arms and I am wondering what the shock length eye to eye and fully compressed length should be to get full travel?
Thanks
God bless...

Mark, I got these from Walsh a while back. It really depends on tires/air pressure you are running as well. I am running several different shock setups on my various Walsh machines and the longest I am running is a 19.5 inch shock. This info is straight from Nate Walsh.
