Re: Make it handle

For a street driven c10 what is the recommended compression travel for the front end before contacting the bump stops? Front of the truck is approximately 2000 lbs. Front spring is moog 6542 with 842 lb/in spring rate.

Thanks in advance.

I like as much as I can get.

3" of travel is always my target. Of course there's limitations depending on individuals set-ups so you gotta work within those.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
