I agree that you would lose some travel but the shocks that are supplied per Rob "the 'A' shoch measures 14" closed, and 23" open, thats nine inches of travel" would still offer far more travel than the 5" of travel that I had. I am guessing you might lose 2" of travel with an inverted mount. Again I'm just guessing and wondering, I'm not an engineer/fabricator, but unless you ask the guy that is you won't ever know.
