I heard Dirty travel is when custom long shackels fall inward and allows extra travel but their is not much really push down on the tire but weight and shock pressure, i do 50 / 50 driving on 33-35 tires.

Well I would think that most of our broncos will do this when the axle drops way down. The problem with longer shackles on a bronco is that it lowers ride height so long shackles are out of the question unless you do a shackle mount flip. I really dont see it being any benift to have or try and get more "dirty travel" unless your just looking to be a flex queen.

Stock shackles are fine. Especailly if 50/50 driving. Really there's no benefit in any shackle changes with a stock bronco setup. Now if you did a shackle flip then you may have some options but I still dont really see the need.
I guess you could do a shackle flip then get some revolver shackles for extra flex but I've heard they are not all that great when it comes down to it.

I can't imagine needing more travel in the rear - I've got the WH HD shackles and I'm thinking about limiting the travel in the rear, I really need bump stops.
