Are my bumpstops too close to the frame?

    Yeah that's not even with gear in it! I should have gone with the dakars. Are u running them with the add a leaf?

    I do I can try that. I save everything. I do really love the superbumps just don't want to feel them all the time.

    No, standard pack. A couple weeks back I had all my dogs(400# ish) plus some gear around 200#'s, barely squatted and rode awesome.

    Something doesn't seem right. Your rear wheel looks too far back in your wheel well. Anybody else seeing that?

    there was a guy on the forum who had too much bump stop and ended up with a bent frame.

    Maybe your shocks are to short. You could try disconnecting them and see if you get more room.

    OP can you post a picture that shows your whole leaf spring in the shot? They look flat in your pictures but it's hard to tell.

    I agree with trying to disconnect your shock and see what happens.

    cover your groin when you disconnect the shocks..... lol

    I would expect with that many leafs that the lift would be much greater..... possible they are the wrong leafs?

    That looks like a Dakar pack it has an over load spring. I think I'm not getting enough lift out of the allpro pack

    I don’t think his issue was too much bump as it was not enough up travel. The bump just gives you a cushion and absorbs the energy. His shocks had no room to work compression

    Again.... shocks are fine, those are not the issue.

    Issue is the saggy ass non stout all pro standard pack. The lift he got is from the super thick leaf pack acting like a block, not actual spring lift.

    From the pictures above, bumpstop height and amount of useable shock travel look about right. At bumpstop full compression you are going to have ~ 1in of shock travel left which is a little much, and is due to the extra thickness of the all pro pack.

    It's very hard to get a view on the whole leaf without pulling the wheel. This is probably the best I can do.

    I agree it doesn't look like I'm getting much lift at all with springs. They are sitting almost flat honestly it looks like a block lift.

    If those are the standards then you bought the wrong pack. The expos are what you wanted as they are rated to 500lbs.

    Springs look flat and have heard same as above about the AlPro's. Also looks like you have 5" of shock up travel left but only 1" from bump stop to frame. I have fox 2.0s on my Turd gen and have about 1" left when the bump stop hits. What are the part number of those foxes? I am running deaver u402s stage IIIs with little more load than you.

    I spoke to all pro they told me the standards were up to about 500 the expos were 500 and up that the expos would ride badly without having weight on them.

    E51132F8-6197-4501-AE8B-2D099544CAE0.jpgFrom their site, says expos are “up to 500lbs”.
