 Uptravel question I'm working on the design for my rear shock mounts. Anyone have any idea how much uptravel can I realistically expect from the rear end before a 37" tire is touching the inside of the fender on a 3.5" lift with a full width 9"? I'm thinking 6" if the other side is drooped 6"?

Re: Uptravel question It depends on your suspension setup and body clearance....
That said, with my BC rear 3.5" leafs, I was maxing out at around 8.75" of total vertical travel at axle center - when articulated, it was a good bit more at the wheels. My bump stops are roughly 3" above my axles at stock locations but I can still put my tires into the flare at full stuff. That's with gorrilla flares mounted at the body line and 2“ body lift. I don't have full width or spacers though... I do have a decent amount of gear in the Bronco though, so I sit at the height closer to what most would with a 2.5" lift. This means I have more downtravel than up travel as well.

Re: Uptravel question Thanks, that helps. I think that if I put my rear shocks at 6" up travel and the rest down I should have more than enough if I link it. Just didn't want to waste the uptravel. I'm willing to cut as much sheet metal as it takes to make things fit.

Re: Uptravel question 6" uptravel should be fine.
Statically with full widths, 3.5" suspension lift and 2" body lift, I have 9" of clearance between the top of the tire and the fender flare. I only have 6" uptravel in front and 5.25" rear, which is not a problem since the rear is more stiffly sprung.
