More strength, 2 bump stops on each side to stop the frame from folding up since the spring perches get pulled in at the same time the bump stop bottoms out it is like drawing a bow back. Both ends pull down on the center of the frame at exactly the worst possible moment.. Transfer the load of the axle hitting the frame over two directions and counter push the ends the spring back up instead of letting the whole thing reach 0 G which as measured at about 100 times the force of gravity. Splitting in two directions and pre load the two sides of the frame to pull in as they travel up also stops bed spread. right now every kit simply tries to slow the point of impact where the frame bends or for some is bent. Its an idea I have looked and worked on half a dozen frames so far to get ideas.

I have done three bump stop kits, none work exactly right and each kit has a plus and a minus. I am incorporating 4 different designs, 4 bump stops new spring shackles and creating the best of worlds for the Raptor owner. It will address 3 principals of physics that take place all at once and will prevent the as seen damages of the past. It will directly impact the crumple zones, so I have to test a little on my computer as I go. The kit is a ways off and cost will be more than any other kit simply because it will do more and have 4 bump stops.. SO I am looking for people to help show me their frames so I can get measurements and calculate the force of energy to be able to counter that force...
