ladder bar suspension travel

[BJCRAZYZ]

i have three questions, the first being this-
how much actuall suspension travel should you have with ladder bars? i need to order coil overs before next weekend, but unsure wich length to buy? i know how they are mounted plays a part in this, i am assuming, that i measure the distance from where i am placing the upper mount to the center on the axle tube? but how do i figure how much actuall compression and extension travel i need??

the secound question is this-
if i am using a wishbone to locate the rearend, do i need to brace the front mounting point of the wishbone to the cage??

the third question is this-
i have the book from sfi for 25.5 spec, in regards to the rocker bar on the drivers side, can it be mounted below the floor pan, or does it have to mounted above?
the book is kinda grey in this area

thanks for any help you can give

Your ride height plays a big part....

For your first question you need to figure out what mount brkt your gonna use on the housing and mock-up with it at your desired ride height to see what you have room for.here is one from q/m http://www.rjracecars.com/cgi-bin/sqlstore/index.cgi?cart_id=6458781.8293&pid=70
Don't use any shock with less than 5" travel http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19803
