That way you get some distance between your shock eye mounts when the truck is on the ground. The more distance between the eyes when the truck is aired out and the shock is compressed and the the more travel you'll get, but you still might have to figure out a way to limit that 23" when fully aired up. Hope these suggestions might help give you some ideas and good luck!
Thats EXACTLY the kind of information i was searching for! Thank you!
