[QUOTE="Steven W, post: 632579, member: 56564"] Wow that did not make sense at all. Of course the travel of the shock would not change. That is built into the geometry of the suspension. However the resting point of said shock will be higher after a lift, ie If there were 10 inches (5up and 5down) and you lifted the truck 3inches with a spindle and 1.5 with a torsion twist, then the new travel of the suspension would be 9.5 inches up (tire into wheel well) and 0.5inches down (tire down from wheel well). Of course upper travel would be limited by bump stop and tire hitting inner side of wheel well. ????Anyone?? [/QUOTE]
