The AFCO Extended-Travel Drag Strut for 1979–2004 Mustangs adds 2 inches of additional front suspension travel to help your car transfer weight smoothly and plant the tire. It’s a proven upgrade for drag radial, small-tire, and no-prep setups that need more control at the hit and better consistency pass-to-pass.
Need it custom-valved for your combo? Use Get My Shock Spec and we’ll recommend the right setup for your weight, power, tire, and track conditions.
+2” of Additional Front Suspension Travel
More usable travel gives your Mustang’s front end more time to rise smoothly, keeping weight moving rearward longer. The result is better tire loading on the hit, a more forgiving setup window, and improved consistency—especially on drag radials and marginal prep.
This extended-travel drag strut is designed to improve weight transfer by adding 2 inches of additional front suspension travel compared to standard drag struts. It helps your car rise smoother, hit the tire more progressively, and stay more consistent on radial, slick, and no-prep surfaces.

Standard struts can run out of travel too quickly, stopping weight transfer early and making the hit too aggressive. The extra 2” helps:
- Slow and smooth front rise
- Keep weight moving rearward longer
- Improve traction on radial and no-prep tracks
- Reduce “hit shock” that causes spin or inconsistency
Is extended travel better for drag radials? Yes—radials often need a smoother, more controlled rise to load the tire.
Is this only for high horsepower cars? No—moderate power cars benefit from smoother transfer and consistency too.
Can it be revalved later? Yes—revalving is available if your combo changes.
Do you help with setup? Yes—use Get My Shock Spec and we’ll provide a recommendation and baseline guidance.
+2” Extended Travel
Adds additional front suspension travel to improve weight transfer and traction.
Radial & No-Prep Friendly
More forgiving on marginal prep and small-tire surfaces.
Custom Valving Available
Built and tuned to your weight, power, tire, and track conditions.
Front travel is one of the most overlooked traction tools on Mustangs. When the front end rises too fast or stops too early, weight transfer becomes inconsistent and the tire gets shocked. Extended travel helps the suspension “work longer,” improving bite and repeatability—especially on radial and no-prep tracks.
Ideal For
- 1979–2004 Mustangs (Fox / SN95 / New Edge)
- Drag radial and small-tire cars
- No-prep setups needing a smoother hit
- Street/strip cars chasing consistency
- Cars that spin, hit too hard, or unload early
Custom-Valved by Sho-Me Speed
AFCO hardware is the foundation—valving is what makes it work. We can custom-valve your struts to match your horsepower, weight, tire, and track conditions so the extra travel produces real traction gains, not just extra movement.
