Quigley Ride Height and Suspension Travel

[scatter]

If your distance to bumpstop is less than what's left on your shock, you're OK. Otherwise you'll probably damage the shock when you bottom out. Either way 1"- 2" is not much travel.

That shock looks upside down to me.
Here is the Belstien on my van.

Digging this one up from the past, since it was helpful to me on my upgrade path...

I had similar issues with the front of my Van. 2000 RB 7.3L, with a Road Armor Bumper and Hydraulic Winch. Quasi loaded weight with me, but empty tanks and no additional gear/passengers was 4620#. Based on all the comments on here (Namely, that the SSC-30's weren't quite enough), I purchased a set of SSC-31 Springs from Super Spring and swapped them out yesterday. This netted about 1" over the stock springs with all of that weight. I also shaved about 1/4-1/2" off the bumpstops as well, which gives me about 3" of uptravel vs. the 1-1.5" I had previously. Now off to get some rear springs made to help fix this 'rake' problem I have!

Sheepshagger - I'm diggin the polished look on the radius arm! How bling would that look if the whole arm was like that.
