ADD/King bump stop kit is on

[Raptizzle]

I'm only at about a 1/2" away from contact. I'm more interested in seeing how it does off-road with it set up like this and the bump's working all the way through the cycle.

I hear ya. I was just getting my ass beat by the bumps with every dip, driveway, and body rolled out turns. Good thing about the bumps is that they can be shortened if need be.

( my redneck way to adjust them, im sure ADD has a modern way.. )
Put a zip tie on the jounce at the top of the shaft. Go drive it and hit some whoops. If the zip tie is bottomed out then the pressure needs raised.

If you look at the bump's in the pics, you can see that they already come with an o-ring on the shaft just for that purpose

Looks good, can't wait to see how she does! Some good bumps are definitely on my list...

Looking forward to your report on this one, I hope it meets all your expectations. As always thanks for being first!!!!

what did it run you? $

Seriously over drove the truck!!
The highly exponential nature of the nitrogen bump stops. The the spring force and spring rate remain constant and quite low (soft) for the first 2/3 of the shocks travel, and then increase rapidly and dramatically from there - meaning they get quite stiff quite fast. If I remember correctly at (60 psi) fully compressed the spring force is around 2500 lbs +/-

So how would one figure pressure/load. would 50 psi turn into 100 psi in one inch of travel ? or would it be more per inch of travel.
What I am wondering is if all these guys that "had a load of lumber and bent my frame" or "towing my boat and bent my frame" !
Would this set up prevent this kind of situation ? I know it would be MUCH better than the stock "dog chew toy" bumpstops.

After a close look it's a frame stiffner/bumpstop mount. my only concern is how far it is from the frame.

I like the concept, hmmmm !

I will have to find the chart that king sent me, it showed the exponential rate of pressure increase based on amount of travel.

As far as pulling a trailer or carrying a load of lumber and bending the frame. I suspect there was prior bending/offroad damage prior. And just owners way of trying to get their abuse covered under warranty.

The frame kit and bumpstop will not stop overdriving/abuse. It will better control uptravel of tge rear suspension and stopping high velocity impacts to the frame.
