How much rear wheel travel do we have?

[BigSwede]

Around 18" I would guess. This website:

claims 18.5" rear axle travel for a 2nd gen Trooper with OME shocks, which are a little longer than stock shocks.

With the N85 rear shocks, which are over 3" longer than the stock size, you can do even more:

Of course then you run into other issues, such as your coil springs falling out...

Good info. I was also sitting at the 18" mark. I am trying to find the lengths on the RS9000s. That would give me a good comparison, and I can get a good guess at wheel travel.

Just measure it yourself. Google 'how to measure rear wheel travel'.
There's a ton of stuff to read-

"Theres lots of ways to do it, I think that this is most accurate. have your truck on jack stands, take your wheel and shock off, measure the distance to the ground from the center of the hub at full droop, lets say its 3 inches, than measure the center of the hub to the ground at full bump lets say its 18 inches, that means you have 15 inches of wheel travel."

Jack up one rear tire by either frame or rock slider, until it clears the ground. (that'd be full droop)

Then measure the distance between the bump stop & the bump pad on top of the axle...

Maybe add 1/2" - 1" for bump stop compression, & you should be pretty close...

I got my Ol' Man Emu's coil springs in without even pulling a rear tire, I sometimes wonder if they'd ever pop out....I doubt it.
