06BCBANSHEE Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 So i just received my long travel elkas today, but im a little confused. Right now i have my +2+1 long travel a arms with yfz shocks. It sits supper low because They are not long travel. But when i measure eye to eye they are the same. 17" eye to eye. If their long travel shouldnt they be longer? Quote
DallasGDub Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Different arms require different shocks. Some LT arms require longer shocks than others. For example on my YFZ, they make Houser long travel arms for 17, 18, and 19" shocks. You will need to find out what shock the arms are made for. Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Posted June 3, 2011 Yea just got off the phone. I do need 17". But why does it sit so low with th yfz shocks? Springs waaay to soft maybe? Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Posted June 4, 2011 No i bought eyeball engineering +2+1 a arms. Didnt realize i had long travel arms. So i bought yfz shocks . Sits way to low, so i ordered long travel elkas. Havent installed them yet. Hope it doesnt sit as low as my current set up. Quote
camatv Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 ok then? what does the a-arm manu state you need? did you order ZPS shocks or std triple rate or what>/ Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Posted June 4, 2011 Lol they are the right length 17" eye to eye. I ordered the stage 2 elka long travel with remote rezzy. My question was why it sits so low to the ground. Im guessing because the springs are not as stiff? I still have not installed my new elkas yet. With the yfz shocks installed on long travel A arms, their is only about 5 inches of clearence between the ground and bottom of the arms. Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Posted June 4, 2011 They are preload and comprrssion adjustable triple rate with remote rezzy Quote
