measure from your bump stops to the stop and see how much room is there ok, say 4 inches, that means you need 4 1/2 inches up travel, so the bump STOPS before the shock does

ok and your saying just worry about the up not the down right? down b what ever is left over after doing the bump stop?

you could relocate your hoop. but easyer asuming you have 12" shocks is get some 14" shocks.
i like to have about 4-5" of up travel and the rest down travel
