: Suspension topout?

Just put the green keys on and with the front end on jack stands I have about a 1/4" gap between the bumpstop and the a-arm for downward travel. The stock shocks are what is limiting it. Put the Bilsteins on and the same thing. Just wondering if yall's were the same.


Thanks, Jason.

Has no one noticed this on their trucks?

You are correct. Stock length shocks limit downward travel. With my 4" Rancho kit and RS9000Xs, I have enough shock travel so the upper a-arm will hit the metal pad on the frame. However, at this much droop the CVs bind, which is vert bad. I am trying to figure out how to fabricate bump stops right now to limit my downward travel. I have some bumpstops of the right height, bit I need to figue a way to install them. Limt strpas are another option for me.
