Thinking About Ordering 2" Procomp Springs and 4" ProComp shocks, has anyone done similar and what will the Up travel be like?

Considering your buying 2inch springs wouldn't that just make your up travel 2 inches more than you currently have ,
Do you have lengths on these shocks ? When you say 4 inch shocks what dose that actually mean?, in most cases it's just the manufacture saying these work with our 4 inch springs , if they are in fact longer are you planing on running bump stop spacers?

Yes 50mm Spacers and they are the 4" Extended Shocks made to run with there 4" Coils, wondering about bottoming out the shocks even with the Spacers?

Coil spacers do not allow the fitment of longer shocks. Only bumpstop spacers or custom shock mounts provide the room to fit a longer shock.

I believe he is referring to bump stop spacers?

no idea on the 4 inch shocks, but here are the 2 inch measurements compared with stock:

FRONT:

compressed:
pro comp 287
stock 277

Extended:
Procomp 460
Stock 375

REAR:
Compressed:
Pro comp 328
Stock 300

Extended:
Pro comp 530
Stock 459

So find out the measurements of the 4 inch shocks and see how they compare and measure up your car flexed up and add at least an inch for bump stop deflection. I think the spring might go captive with 4inch shocks

For whatever reason it seems suzuki have intentionally limited the front suspension travel via the shock. Possibly a geometry issue flexed up

Hmmm Might just go with there 3" shocks and the 2" Springs Looks more like they would match up better after having a measure..

i run stock springs with a 1" spacer, and 1" longer shocks. not as flexy with less travel then a +3" procomp spring and +3" shock combo, not as nice on the central Arnhem highway, with more body roll, because less roll stiffness.
advantage is if you do hit a big bump you don't shatter your spine.
