hey I am wondering if there is any way to raise the travel on my 2004 6 inch sherman breakout with TPC to 7 inches?

well to start, the 04 had SPV. 03 was the last year with TPC. And i called about converting my 03 6" slider to 7" with TPC and they said no. something about length of compression assembly's. but I have also heard that you can take an already 7" spv fork and change that to TPC+ . just no way to extend the travel.

No, this would cause the stanchions to not sit all the way into the bushings. Bad idea.

The OEM BreakOuts for '04 were 150 tpc

So the lowers and stanchions are different between various models of Sherman? I was convinced that the only difference between the forks was the spring compression assembly, does anyone know anything to the contrary?

hmmm good point. Could be the same fork just lowered, but I'm saying be on the safe side and assume for now that it will not work.

You can also take note of where the lowers sit on the stanchions, take the lowers off and measure how far down the bushings go. IF the looke like they hav over an inch of room above the bottoms of the stanchions, then you might be able to to the mod.
