Any of the ones that are more than say 1.5" are probably worse for handling. For example, Most don't up the rates enough to acutally compensate for the distance, nor do any really attempt to compensate for bottoming out. Anyone on here run aftermarket dampers? No so they are changing the stroke range of the stock dampers limiting travel allowing for easier bottoming out.
