Are just over 26" eye to eye rear on a 2500HD.
Fronts are 15.2" eye to shoulder. Eye's are 5/8".

Short shocks are an easy way to limit travel, but this is not for street purposes.
Hey Pat,
What about adding some limit straps so you can drive on the street and then at the track strap her down. Then you don't damage the shack and get best of both worlds.
That's probably a better idea. The "lowering" shocks are perhaps nothing but shocks off a minitruck or small car. Not enough dampening. If the shocks had adjustable dampening, I'd crank them up to the max.
Any 13"-14" adjustable dampening shocks?
Been there done that too but maybe someone else may have better luck then we did. Please video tape you pulls, ours were exciting while the "limiting" stuff was usedWell I was thinking if you use a adjustable clevis strap mount you could adjust the front limit point and get more detailed at the track with easy adjustments.
Like this:
And just do a welded tab on the other side. Then all you need to do is spin the jam nut down to change the limit point.
Good idea ...:dontknow:

Just thinking out loud here. On the roundy round cars, when we have a dry slick track, we adjust rebound dampening to minimal settings, an "easy up" position, to maximize weight transfer to the rear tires. With this same logic, if we had adjustable rebound to stiffen, or "tie down" the front end, but still maintain stock travel, that should help with traction on launches as well as maintaining geometry. I'm thinking more in terms of drag racing, but might apply to pulling also, I don't know?
What is the compressed length of the stockers, front and rear, or the travel?
Nick, anybody building something like this in a single or double adjustable?:angel:
