Front lift limitations and solution questions.

I’ve not seen any droop bump stops or limit straps up under there to limit droop.

When I’ve changed from stock to aftermarket shocks (and between aftermarket brands/models), on the IFS 100 series, The amount of droop seems to change. On one brand of shocks that I had, droop seemed to change in small amounts by how much you tightened the top nut and squished the bushings.

It may be “bad”, but everything that I’ve seen seems to indicate that it is the first thing that maxes out (on the IFS 100 series).

As I implied earlier, you need to check if you’ve got “other limits” that might be put under stress by just slapping in some longer shocks.

If a shock limiting droop is “bad”, on a typical street driven vehicle, what is supposed to have this role? Some of the other things that I can think of as candidates would be much more “interesting” if they failed while in motion.

Yeah, I would much rather have a shock blow out from being the limiter than a ball joint.

Totally agree with both of you that the shock is definitely the better item to have fail. Just wasn't sure if I was missing something. I know I have seen limit straps on more purpose built rigs.
