1phrogguy , wouldnt a shorter travel shock limit the down travel on the side that is dropping??, it seems that a shorter up travel would stop or bottom out and the longer travel shock will allow the opposite side to keep dropping despite the one side not being allowed to tuck up anymore. Anyone else have input on this, I guess it could be its own thread.

Cruiserb,

I am no shock expert by any means, but I do know that the shock mount on the axel is not designed to hold the weight of a cruiser nor is the shock itself, which is essentially what would happen if your shock compresses fully before you reach your suspension travel limit.

shock travel limits should be longer than the suspension fully "drooped" and able to be shorter than your suspension fully compressed. IMO it is better to have a shorter shock than one that is too long. The axel doesn't weigh nearly as much as the front of your cruiser.

I am pretty sure the anti inversion shackles are up side down because the anti-inversion bar/bolt interferes with the saginaw gear box.
