How? Do you still run the Elka tripple rate shock?

Houser linkage has a lower rising rate means stiffer at the beginning of the travel and softer at the end. The Elka linkage is just the opposite softer at the beginning of the travel and stiffer at the end. Houser linkage offers 11 1/4" travel with an aftermarket shock and 10" with a stock shock.

Elka shock and linkage will get you 13" of travel compared to an Elka shock with no linkage being 11" of travel.
