Rear Shock Extension

sixty8 · 06-09-2012, 02:34 PM

I have a 68 Camaro with split mono's, Caltrac's and AFCO 3870R DA shocks. These shocks have 7" of travel. When sitting at ride height, I have 3" out for compression and 4" for extension using the lower mount on the Caltrac plate and the stock upper mount. I think that I may be topping out the shock sometimes when I launch and unloading the tire. These shocks have an adjuster on the top, so a shock extension is not an option.

Is 4" enough extension travel? Any suggestions on ways to get more extension by modifying the mounts or any other solutions?
