So what's the rule of thumb for bump stop length? Talking about the front leaf springs on a push/pull steering '85 truck with cheezy 3" Rough Country lift springs. Technically speaking, would need to lower the stop 3" ... make sense to me anyway.
Or, make the bump just before the shock fully collapse. Obviously I don't want the shock to be the stop.
Or, till the spring flattens out? At what point do leaf springs start hating life?
Using my floor jack the main spring flattens out way before I run out of shock. Not only that, the springs are getting "S" shaped
I made some stops but wanted get some real experience input. The springs are making a lot of noise so I'm prolly on borrowed time. Eventually I'll install the RUF's I've been sitting on so the bump stop question still stands.
