Just in case someone don't understand why E-ROC's shocks don't bottom out when it look's like there is more travel to the bump stop then the shock, when you go like this / \ with the shock (and I may have the numbers wrong but you get the idea) For every 2" of suspension travel the shock travels only 1". It had been mentioned earlier kinda that it allows you to run a longer shock in the back, this is one of the reasons why.

I'm switching to 63" springs this weekend. Hence why the body roll question. I can lift a tire in parking lots by cranking the wheel and standing on it from a stop.

The shocks should always be set at least 6" apart for any street vehicle. The pic with them ~1" apart is a real problem, sure it will flex like crazy but it is almost self rolling in a strong breeze. The crossmember is acting like a fulcrum and the shocks will act as if they are not even there in the way of controlling body roll. 6" is a very small amount of dampening, 2" might as well be equal to none...
