That’s similar to where my super bumps sat with no lift. Ended up going to timbrens to avoid the constant ride height contact

Low mode attempt, low was eventually denied.
High mode.

If I follow thru with plans on the long travel for ahc, these ought to be pretty right on up front. Supposed to almost contact, and it looks like 1” up from coil spacer or longer springs offset by running ahc to front limit ought to do it.
If I decide not to long travel, can order shorter version from @PerryParts to put them just out of contact in N mode and reenabke Low mode. Not that I ever use low mode.

I don’t have enough miles on it to tell if there is any day to day impact yet.
Felt exactly the same driving around town for a couple miles.
Interested to see what develops on freeway and also off road.

I should start a go fund me. I’ll put you down for $500
$500? i need more like $5000 right now. Thats very kind of you though!
But for real, sensor lift it for $0 and you’re still good. Itll still give you a higher stance in every mode, allowing lo to still clear bumps, and you can do extended travel (total increase) spacer when you sort through that weird coil part number mystery…
You could also be the first to put LC front coils on LX… im sure it may even be free from MUD members. It mayyyy just work with your added bumper hang weight. I doubt it really, unless you know your exact front axle weight its a wild experiment though.

A go fund me for me. A go fund you for you.
No interest in further sensor lifting until it has some benefit beyond nuking my ride quality.
Am still looking at coils. Verified tonight that adapting to a full width turn at the base of the shock should be elementary. Also that the 3.75” inner diameter should easily clear.
Can’t use TLC shocks, they’re 500lb. Ahc shocks around 325 lb. Ahc shock with spring rubber around 350 to 375 lb to offset front bumper weight.

Bump wizard @PerryParts is cooking up an AHC (unmodded, stock) specific bump.
So awesome!
This company is setting a high bar for service! Super impressed.

Hey Folks!
Owner/Operator of PerryParts here - It's been awesome working with @grinchy on bumps for the LC200. The AHC is an interesting challenge to design around.
Our bumpstops offer compression & rebound damping that can't be found with any other design, and I'll work with any of you to make sure your setup is perfect.
I started my business because I wasn't OK with paying $400+ for bumpstops. I'm a manufacturing engineer in my day job, and looking at those other products, the profit margins are... insane. So I made a product at a price I would be willing to pay.
Always looking for input on building my business. I stand by my product, (zero failures or returns, over 250 orders in the wild) but awareness of it is low. if you have suggestions for me, please reach out!
Short demo comparing our product to others:

I'll certainly be interested, especially if we can get a product that works well with the longer travel setup that is currently being developed by other forum members. I assume @grinchy has mentioned this. A better bump stop (assume you already have that covered) with a bit of extension to the stock part I believe is what would be in order.
Already on it! Extended the version I sent to @grinchy for a 1" taller hard stop surface, and we can tune as needed from there.
Also included an image of the updated "shorty" bump for AHC testing.

I've got a homemade AGM battery diode available. drop me a PM with your address and I'll send it along. Good for around +0.5v additional above the normal alternator voltage.

I've started a classifieds thread with a bunch of stuff I discover as I clean up my garage this weekend.

Any chance yall can point me in the direction of the long travel development thread? I'd like to keep tabs on it to see if I can help folks out over there.
Long Travel AHC
Shiny bauble. Nicely done. Wonder how adaptable this is to the 100-series? I sorta looked into this and think there are too many differences for the 200 series ones to adapt to the 100 series. The same concept should work though.
