How NOT to setup your bump stops

[Raptizzle]

Is there something I am missing here?

If the bumps were too high, the rear axle would be smacking the frame too. The springs are sacked out or perhaps they're just a poorly designed leaf pack. I could be missing something here too but in my non professional opinion, that's my take.

Pretty sure I watched this video on rpg's website as an advertisement for their frame kit.

Good thing Rogue Racing has an affordable and reliable bump stop kit that can be used on sprung under and sprung over applications without modification.

Then why do mine come in contact with the stock leafs?

In this case is the spring the issue or is it the bump stop? How would you go about adjusting that bump? It looks like the RPG kit which is not adjustable.

The RPG Bumpstop kit comes with two different "pads" for the Bumpstops…...Need to use the longer one so contact with the springs is made sooner.

In what application would the shorter pads be used?

I asked the same question! Never got an answer.
In many trips to Baja, with the short pads, I notice that the top of the springs/ Ubolts were bottoming out on the frame, also putting load on the shocks leading to shock mount failures.

I'm thinking my shock mounts should be in good shape (RST16) but makes me wonder if sprung under would help alleviate this issue.

The shorter pads are used for every day driving and heavy off-roading because they come standard with the kit. The longer ones are ONLY supposed to be used when carrying a heavy load, but most Raptor shops do NOT recommend you use your bump stops for towing purposes.

The two best options for towing are the RoadMaster active suspension or SuperSprings that mount on top of your leafs. They both should be removed when doing heavy off roading and the Roadmasters are much easier to put on and take off.
