It sits about the same height without shocks, maybe 3/4 inch lower,
but the ride is terrible. Its damn near impossible to drive above 60.
I'l check the stroke when I get off work

so, with the bags fully inflated, the fender sits at 29 3/4" off the ground, and deflated its at 23 1/4", so about 6 1/2" of stroke. but my bags arent bottomed out when deflated, theyre sort of smashed in the spring cup, and holding it up a couple inches. i guess cus the billows are a larger diameter than the 2500# bags. i definitely gotta fix that, and not cruise with em fully deflated. further increasing the need for a new rear link setup.

yeah, i'm runnin about 40 psi right now, its kinda slow gettin up ( 4 sec. ), but im using less nitrogen that way. with no shocks, runnin 160 psi, and toggling the switch, i was hoppin the rear, but that drained my bottle real quick ( hella fun though )
