unless you have lt a-arms, you wont be gaining anymore travel, what you are buying is ride QUALITY not quantity. you'll still have right at 7 inches of travel, but since they are built for you and your riding style, they will be a much more fine tuned shock, they will be softer than the stockers and also stifferdepending on where you are in the shocks travel

ima clear this up really quick cause i know its gonna be the next question asked.
If you get extended a-arms +1 +2 +3 ect. then you will still have the same amout of travel as stock. The shock is just harded for the longer a-arms. They do not move the shock mount unless they say they moved the mount(Long Travel). Then the +1 as in +3 +1 or +2 +1, ect means they move the a-arms 1" forward. If you look at a them you will see the a-arms goes out then had a bend forwar in it. That make the front wheels 1" forward. I believe that puts more weight on the rear end resulting in more travel. (im not 100% on that i may put more on the front, but puting it on the rear is more logical cause more weight = more traction)
