Bump Stop - Limit Strap Info
For the rear you need to put the frame on jack-stands and pull the springs out. Then use a floor jack and cycle it, jack the axle up until the shocks bottom out, then lower it untill there’s 1/2″ of shaft showing, that’s where you need to bump it. Then droop it out untill the shocks are holding the axle up and then jack it back up so there’s 1/2″ of shaft still in the body, that’s where you needp to strap it. You’ll find you get a lot more than 10″ of trave out of a 10″ shock in the rear.
Straps do strech, so you gotta account for that, on a normal double wrapped strap you’ll get about 1″ of stratch per 12″ of strap.
2 more things to watch out for are coilbind, and where the bump-stops strike. Coilbind shouldn’t be an issue, but never the less, measure the width of the coils, then multiply by the number of coils, then measure the distance between spring perches at bump, mayke sure your perches are further away from eachother than the collapsed length of the spring. Then make sure your bumps are going to hit something flat, and that they’ll hit it pretty square, the RTE radius arms cock the axle for castor correction, and that cocks the bump-stop mounts and destroys bumps, other castor correcting radius arms will do the same, the RTE’s are also longer so only half the bump hits the strike-pad.
