yesterday i got my E36 elka's(tripple rate, zps, no rezzy), and i took the springs off today and checked the travel. got some pretty sweet #'s, i think. here's a link to a little review of the shocks that i did. http://www.yfzcentral.com/invision/index.php?showtopic=31757
i'm gonna try and get some pics up today or tomorrow.

Standard Travel +2 houser aarms and the E36 elka's
Frame Measurements (measured at top of front bumper)
lifted------------------------------------28 1/4
compressed(bump stops squished)--15 3/4
so that's 12.5" frame travel !!!!!!!!!! :clap:
Wheel Measurements i was doing this be my self, so i used a different method. i got a little cart that was about a foot or 1.5 feet tall, and sat on tire on it. then i got a jack and lifted the frame until the rear wheels and the rest of the quad was level. i thought this worked pretty good, and it compressed the bumper. i then measured the height of the two spindles. tell me tho if you think this wouldn't be accurate. and i'll try and get some pics of how i got the wheel travel, if that'll help.
but here's the #'s i got
wheel with shock extended------12 1/4
wheel with shock compressed---22 1/4
so i got 10" wheel travel
