    shock travel

    under some circumstances, I've been forced to use some cheap, temporary s-10 shocks on my buildup of the front-end of my opel gt...I welded brackets to fit them up.

    Does the factory suspension use up all of the shock travel? These shocks have noticeably less travel, we're talking inches, and I'm afraid their going to bottom out... even though they are temporary...

    thanks for the help!
