I have cranked the t bars about 1-1.5" and 2" add-a-leafs these both trade suspension down travel for ride hight. My question is could I get more down travel in the suspension by replacing the stock shocks with longer ones. Is the suspension bottoming out because it is maxing out the shocks or just reaching the extent of its designed travel? The most noticable problem is when cross a ditch at an angle. the outside rear tire starts up the incline before the inside. this flexes the rear axle and the inside tire is not able the stay on the ground. is this something I am going to have to live with or would longer shocks alow the suspension to have more flex.
