Front Suspension Travel (Compression)

[speedracerbubba]

I agree but many think if they "pose" like above that that is as far as the suspension will go, they never consider the force that can happen when you drop off a rock for example.

One example was my factory suspension. I had to go no more than 10mph on the dirt ross to the trails or I would bottom out on the smallest bump. Granted, one front shock was blown but thee springs were ok.

I disagree
when I flex out my Jeep like that it hits the front and rear bump stops
if I go far enough up
you can not compress the suspension past the bump stops under any situation

As soon as I get my new rear driveshaft (suppose to be here by the weekend) ill be removing my front sway bar and testing the flex of the JBA coil overs on the trails. Boblemoche has his removed and stuff his 33s in the front pretty well and said he gained about 4" of travel on his coil over lift. If mine doesn't hit the front oem bump stops (Marlin said the kit was made to work with oem) ill be ordering longer eibach coils to experiment with.

Well DUH... no kidding
but when mines sitting like that I will be on the rear bumpstop's but takes way more to hit the front
