Topic: Should I shorten my bump stop?

[yoshaleng]

Hello all....my bump stops always bottom out when i drive off a steep driveway or a rediculous speed bump.

what should i do?

post up some pics.

I didn't run bumpstops for a while, but it got kinda scary for me watching how much the springs would negative arch under extreme compression, so i ended up taking the bump stop extensions, the metal part, and cutting 1" off the end.

As of right now i am running some 4" TG springs, that have sagged a bit, and the bumpstops hit right as the springs are flat.  Just how i wanted it to. 


how far away is the bumpstop from hitting the frame at ride height?

sorta made me laugh, never seen anyone use CL for a picture host...... try using something like photobucket.com should be free.....

so you say your bottoming out on your bump stop but it looks as if your shocks may be too long, sure that aint your problem 

nice truck BTW

yes, i'm sure. you can't really see in the picture (front view)...my bump stop made contact and my shocks still had about 3/4 of an inch.
but yes, my shocks are too long in the front and i'm going to 12" Bilsteins instead. i thought about using longer shackles  but i'm too high as it is.
scared of top heavy on a major flex. but thanks on your input....
