I plan to have about 20" of travel. I will set it up, so that my ride height has the ram extended approximately 13-15" so I have the ability to go a good bit lower or "slam" it when parked.
I'm not worried about over extending the ram. That could be controlled with limiting straps.
By calculating internal volumes I find that 2.5" bore 20" stroke has a volume of 98.21in^3 and a 3.5" bore 10" stroke would have a volume of 96.25in^3.
So I figure this would give me close to a 2:1 ratio. I can experiment with different viscosity fluids to manipulate rate of transfer.
That all sounds like a pretty damn good place to start for me. The bag should do everything that you would need it to as well. The only thing that I would STRONGLY suggest is to use a good shock like a King, Bilstein, Sway Away, Fox... you get the picture. It would also be a good idea to run a bypass type shok too to help control the rising spring rate of a bag system or play with expansion tanks, either way, just know that it can be a problem.
