2. If i build the steering crank to position B i don't have enough steering because the turnbuckle touch the upperdeck. so i changed to position A. Before there was only 15° steering.
3. The shock isn't long enough because if i change the back shocks to the inner hole i can minimum build a droop of 6.5 but i want to have 4 for lower traction tracks.
So i hope you can understand what i mean and maybe can help me?
Not sure about the first two but if you screw the ball cup all the way onto the shock shaft they shock may not extend far enough depending on the set-up you use. I think Keven or somebody posted the shock length Keven uses. These shocks have a lot of travel, so if you are just compressing them all the way on the bench I wouldn't be surprised if things are hitting the shock tower under full compression. I doubt in normal operation the shocks would ever compress that far where interference would be an issue. Like one poster suggested, double-check your build and make sure you have it right.
