The shock and coil are the limiting factor... Remember that travel is just a number. What length 5100s and in what position?Dezertbronco wrote:How much travel can I expect to get with C&T Beams and solo radius arms. stock coil bucket and 5100s stock with.

Re: how much travel?
I might run the rancho coil or a pro comp coil and stock locations on the shocks, I know the rear shock can limit travel not sure how much. I think Yikes ran a Rancho kit With C&T beams for a while.

Re: how much travel?
i run the pro comp coils, stock modified buckets and a 12" off the front of the beam.14-15"
if i were to buy new springs, they would be the deaver 5.5 coils,longer spring,softer spring rate=more droop, lots more comfy of a ride. i did have rancho shocks for short while.
but opted for a single bigger shock

Re: how much travel?
I was afraid that deaver springs would be to tall and soft anyone know how much they are? They might be worth a try.

Re: how much travel?
Not to hijack your thread, but If your running C&T Beams with a four inch lift coil, will you still be able to align it with the Deaver 5.5 coils?

Re: how much travel?
12-13 inches sounds about right to me as well for that setup.
