Awhile ago I installed a set of Rancho 9000's(?). The ones with the valve adjustment. Anyway just got to thinking. I purchased shocks with 3 inches of stroke in both directions. Is this enough stroke along with the springs to crawl moderate to serious trails? I do run leaf springs.

I have about 4-41/2" of total lift and 33" tires. Will the shocks stop the wheels from contacting the ground? What is the normal/average travel on other shocks out there? Any input would be welcome.
