jonpeter0420 Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 on my +2+1 a-arms that are set up for standard travel shocks, i am using stock length banshee shocks. 16" shocks are too long for your a-arms unless you have a-arms set up for them. I figured they were too long. i just dont want to get rid of my elkas, or fork out the cash for a new set. The length of stock shocks are 14.5 am I wrong. dont have my climber on me at the moment.

If you are running 16" shocks, you will bottom out the shocks long before you use all of your travel. You can do damage to both the shock, and your frame/arms running them that way.
