Need a little help

I'm not 100% sure on this. 1. Is he saying to measure the end of the shock body( where the rod comes out?) to the bump stop?2, subtract ??? 1/2 -3/4? I would think you would add for bump stop compression.I may be wrong.
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

2. (this step is easier if the spring is off the shock) measure from the end of the shock body to the beginning of the bump stop, subtract 1/2~ 3/4" for bump stop compression (depending on the bumpstop)and write this number down.

I'm trying to do this.

yeah bro, i've read and re-read that a bunch of times, and think he means the opposite of what it seems to read, what he says there didn't make sense to me either ???

If I subtract, I get 13 inch of travel. If I add, I get 12. That's about what Tater is getting is about 12.

yeh, read that again and it didnt sound right, what length of swinger u got, tater was getting 11 with a stocker

 

[blasterdemon7]

I got a +3 Tater arm...........

 

[Whitty21]

12 inches makes sense

 

[Awk08]

dont know if tater used phragles formula, with the arcs intersecting and all
or just went for what fit good when he did it ????
i know he used my 400ex works ultracross to do his long travel, and dont think he took the spring off like phrags diy says to do

 

[blasterdemon7]

I'll just go at it. I can always redo the mount if I don't it.

 

[brandoz28]

i would say add 1/2 inch to the shock body to bumpstop measurement.

 

[blasterdemon7]

That's what I'm going with...........
