The stroke is increased as after raising the whole shock, with the new towers, which also correct the arc the shock swings through as you change inclination, you then reset the droop by adjusting the shock length by unscrewing the eyelets a little.
The longer eyelets are needed or else you run out of thread engaugement and risk a failure.
With the standard kit towers there is still some possible uptravel clearance between driveshaft bone and outdrive which can not be used as you have fully compressed the shock.
My modified tower design gives scope for using this uptravel but requires the change in shock length to accomodate it without loosing droop.
There are 2 different things discussed in my first post;
1) what I have been doing with the standard kit components (outside hole on wishbone)
2) what revised componenets I have been working on to improve the car (new towers) in a specific area
Hope that makes more sense now ...
