I'm running the 1000 series shockwave bags. I believe they at the HQ model that are single adjustable but I will double check tonight for you if you want. Not sure how the C5 lower control arms are but I bought the ridetech brackets to mount the bag and they didn't work too well. We ended making our own lower brackets. As far as travel I get around 7 or 8 inches in the rear and I think 6-7 inches in the front. I haven't checked since we remade the front bag mounts.

Prefect, thanks! I just checked and there are 3 different shockwaves, 2.6, 3.6 and 4.1 strokes, I am guessing yours is either 3.6 or 4.1, but if you don't mind checking the stroke and how much actual travel you get, I would much appreciate it. If you have any detailed pics (of the redone bracket etc) you can add, that would be great too.

Looking forward to following the build as it comes along. Cheers!
