I guess we will find out  |
With a longer shock we shouldn't need the internal bump stop, as the upper control arm should hit the metal frame stop before the shock gets to an over-extended point where damage is of concern. However, then we have to worry about bottoming since the shock has no external stop - and rely soley on the soft frame stop.
If this turns out to be an issue, we could add the Daystar stops to our shocks

If I am not mistaken, you blew the 9000s? These have close to the same travel as stock and include the internal & external stops on the shocks. I really need to confirm this with Rancho, but this is how it is on the H2.
I really like the idea behind these Bilsteins without any other changes being done. It will be important when we get them installed to ensure the H3 front end height is in the shocks correct range. I will take some measurements and get it set up where it should be in the proper height range for them and I think we'll we good to go.
