Bikersmurf, seems the bump stop manufacturers claim you can compress a bump stop 80%, but many Baja racers proved you can wipe the bump stops clean off the frame.
Regarding fan shrouds, the Society of Automotive Engineers did some test on cooling with and without a fan shroud. What they discovered was that your engine cools better with a shroud, BUT that it cools the best when zero percent of the fan blade is inside the shroud (i.e. shroud only coming back to the front edge of the fan blade). Evidently when the fan is inside a shroud, wind cavitates and actually flows rearward, blown air back out the grille?????. If this is the case, then your fan would not be creating the hurricane inside the engine compartment needed to exhaust the hot air out of the engine compartment?????
