I was woundering if you can just buy long travel a-arms with stock length shocks or you have to buy long travel shocks for all long travel a-arms?? Another thing, what can i do with my battery?

I dont think you can but i wish cause i need shocks now but dont want to get a-arms yet. I guee ill just have to live with regular shocks.

You could put stock lenght shocks on long travel arms but it will sit very very low! Too low!

no I mean I would figure they could move the shock farther up the a-arm and just valve it stiffer and put stiffer springs. I don't think the shocks be as consistant through the travel as the longer shocks though.

umm isnt the stock shocks like 16 inches or so? i just read on the houser website that their long-travel a-arms can be had for either 19 or 16 inch shocks. i dont know how good it will be from the increased leverage but u might be able to use those.

stock length shocks are 16 inches. So now the question is the performance of the shocks with that long travel setup.
