    Rear suspension travel

     



    Hello all,

    We are setting up the ride height and rear suspension travel in a 55 Bel Air that has a 4 link setup with coil-overs. How much upward suspension travel do you have in your cars. Brian replied in another link that he allows 4" up and 4" down in 20's and 30's cars (Thanks Brian), has anyone set up a 55-57 before? The car doesn't have bump stops yet, we will fab them once we decide on the upward travel.

    Thanks in advance - 55guys

    If it has coilovers, their range of travel is probably about 3" either way from center, going down the road, probably total travel of 4"...
