1) when the bags are empty, you're probably not going to be driving around, and if you do manage to roll, you won't be needing shock travel, and 2) for 8" of vertical lift in the bag, you don't need 8" of shock travel since they're not vertical. I'm using the standard shocks in the Air Ride Technologies package and they have worked flawlessly for over 2 years. And, I'm using the stock shock mounting locations. You can get relocator kits but I never had any issues with where they are now so didn't see the need to buy the relocators.

I hope this helps,

Kenneth
