I know in "measurement terms" the bumpstops should reduce 2" of up-travel. Reality is (from all our observations) that once the stop hits the axle, the axle then seems to rotate even more on that bumpstop. It takes on a teeter-totter effect and that tire just turns in angle-wise big time while the axle doens't move up any more. I think it's because of the added droop on the other side. It's hard to explain but the setup works and adds a lot.

The axle is also VERY crooked when flexed in that pic. The stuffed wheel is far rearward and the drooped far forward. I guarantee you that IF I had a shorter shock on the drooped side and the long ones on the stuffed side, I'd not rub. Of course you can't use that setup.
