bumpstop question

[Twisty]

I am making some rear bumpstops, and I measured them to stop the axle from going up when the leaf spring was flat. Is this the correct way to do this, or should I let it go more?

 

Thanks :popcorn:

yes and no . negativly arching a spring isnt the best thing fer it but it

 

happens all the time . what u want to do is flex the truck to its maximum

 

with no tire rub, leave at least an inch or 2 clearnce around the tire then

 

take ur measurements fer the bump stops. thats what i do

Ok. I don't want my springs to have negative arch...so I'll measure again. I trimmed my rear fenders a little to accomodate the 34's and It seems that I have plenty of room.

 

Thanks
