That was on the shocks they originally installed. The ones in there now are pretty close to the mid-point of the travel with 2 1/2" of travel either way. What I don't know is what amount of travel the shocks get in normal road towing conditions, but the shocks are at an angle so travel less than the actual vertical movement. It might be an interesting exercise to measure how much the shocks actually move in either direction. The shock upper and lower mounting brackets are located exactly as per Monroe's mounting instructions.
