    I don't know much about suspension. Mid travel moves your shocks outboard to accommodation longer shocks? What else are you doing?

    Runs longer shocks outboard giving you more suspension travel for jumps whoops and other off-road obstacles

    It works good no clearance issues I hope. I'm also running 1.25 spacers all around

    I don't believe there will be issues as it runs where the inside fender liner goes

    I heard you the first time....lol
    I'm new to the whole suspension thing, what I meant was how long as in (ex: your stock lengths (TRD shocks) were 6.0" and 6.5")? I'm assuming you went with a 10" or maybe a 12" shock? Thanks.
