Converting travel on Sherman Firefly?

[W4S]

Does anybody have experience converting travel on an '04 Sherman Firefly? It gets 135 and I want to convert it down to around 100, if anybody can let me know how it's done, that'd be great. :cheers:

I did it, there was a sweet how to a while back, try searching the forums.

I basically bought a 30mm (its 130mm not 135) bushing and got my mech to put it in. I dont knwo how it works but it feels awesome, much better than stock. And i get to keep the ti spring...

Thanks for the info, I found some posts and I think I know how to do it. Where did you buy to 30mm bushing?

I got a shop to do it, like a piping shop... hard to explain. Its 29mm wide and the hole is 8 I believe. It cost like $3 to have done. Its made of a dark colored hard plastic, works well so far (its been on about 9 months).
