After destroying my front coils in a 6ft jump in a hill-and-hole and taking first place and also ruining my rear leafs from over extension at rausch creek, im def in need of some bumpstops and limiting straps.
Ive done a little research and most of it returns lowered ricer info.. junk.
Ill be installing a new d35 in the front of my truck along with a rear 8.8 both locked with 4.56 and chevy leafs in the rear. I never really took bumpstops into consideration, but I never wanted to rock climp or jump the truck before.
I just have a few questions:
How far should the bumpstops be from the axle? Should they drop the same as the lift to remain at a stock position?
Is up-travel needed when crawling?
I know these are basic questions, but its just something I never payed attention to.
