Hi,
I use to run OME850 and 860 along with some custom shocks that had the measures of the OME L shocks, after some use I had some issues with the shocks.
Nowadays I'm running Kind Springs HD in my rig, KTFR-69HD and KTRR-70HD , along with the same shocks.
Last week I've sent my shocks for maintenance and the builder said that the shocks weren't in great shape due to over-compression, they even had some stuff broken inside. So this bump stop issue came to my mind and here I am with a couple of questions to mend this issue.
Since I can measure my rig cause it's at the mechanic... I'll go with some made up values just to check if I understood this....
gap - 3'' -1'' = 2'' ( basic!!)
Cheers

Shock shaft - 4''With the truck sitting at ride height, measure the exposed shaft on the shock. Then measure the gap between the bottom of the bumpstop and the axle housing and subtract 1".
gap - 3'' -1'' = 2'' ( basic!!)
So my case would fill in this scenario, what would be the minimum measure for the bump stop extension? the gap minus 1'' in my example 2'' extension? Is this the correct thought?If the exposed shaft length is longer than the gap between the bumpstop and housing, that is the minimum extension you need for the bumpstop.
Cheers
