there will be bumpstops, in the form of Timbren bumps or air bumps. either way i will utilize an air bump can incase i want to upgrade from timbrens to air later on. DO NOT use your air shock as the bump.
I only have 4-6 inches of uptravel becuase thats all the room i have to travel up with the toploader chunk on there. also, with this little bit of shaft sticking out of the shock, the sway of the rig will be kept way lower. Fox recommends a max 70/30 split for best performance. Meaning on a 16 inch travel, you want 10" in and 6" out max. On 16's i'd rather have only 4-5" out.
I kept mine where they are due to wanting to have more droop instead of compression. Also, any more sticking out would have made me higher off the ground or required that i put my shocks thru the hood. (didnt want to do that).
I am going to run winches front and rear for center limiting and manual suspension compression. I will also run limit straps at the outsides to keep the shocks from fully extending... to much money to pull one apart. 44" inch tired and a rockwell is a lot of weight to hang on a shock.
good luck, would love to see pics of your build.
