HI-CAP109:
Hi Pete,

I have heard this before, dampers are made in different lengths, so check with your supplier to see if they have supplied correctly, the axle should be able to reach the stops, but most never can, due to the dampers being too long!  :?  :shock:

Usually because the bump stops are too short...   bump stops are one of the most frequently forgotten parts of a suspension lift.

Speaking of which...  Don't I need to buy some :?

Help me here people should I have got new bump stops when I got the parabolic springs and how long does it take for the Mud Club stickers to be sent out I've been waiting over two weeks now.

I shall pester Tim about your stickers tommorow morning when he gets up, don't know why they've taken so long, but with the post office being what it is at present there's probably someone in bermuda a little confused as to what to do with those stickers.  

They're probably in the same place as those bits I ordered... grumble.


Anyhow.

The bump stops on the motor are an important part, especially when your axle is at the full extent of it's articulation.  If only because they stop it hitting the chassis.   In a coil sprung motor they can also provide leverage and all sorts of other things, but in a series you'd be lucky to get that kind of travel ;)

Still, I'd look at getting a replacement set and possibly getting longer ones  if need be.  With parabolics you're running a little higher, so really you should get some longer ones.
