Unless you're pulling big air like a Super Stock, you probably won't like the travel limiters. Letting the front end rise really helps with weight transfer. Cars that use travels limiters the most are Super Comp or Super Gas since they want the front end to stay down as much as possible.

3.5* should be fine.

I'm learning in the suspension dept as well, is the 3.5 negative?
