    Anyone handy with shock/bumpstop math? Getting some new shocks and want to make sure I’m protecting them from bottoming out.

    Shocks are set at ~45° angle and will have ~4” of exposed shaft. I’ve got ~7.5” of space between the bump perch and upper contact point. The bump itself is ~1.5” fully compressed.

    Without consideration of leaf arch, how to I select bump mount length to protect the shocks? Not sure if it’s right but I’m playing with: shock travel = vertical travel * cos(shock angle), using different values for vertical travel based on different bump mount lengths. Is this the right way to do it?? I come up with needing to limit vertical travel to less than 5.75” (1.75” bump + mount) to match the 4” shock travel.

    There is a Chicken allergy.

    A chicken allergy is a rare type of allergy that tends to affect young adults and adolescents. It occurs when the body's immune system mistakes chicken as a dangerous substance and reacts to it, causing symptoms. Although a chicken allergy is typically mild, it can be severe in some cases.



    My taste has changed over the years. I like salted Cod Fish

    ~22.5”

    edit: also, vertical measurement from the top eye to the imaginary 90° is ~16”

    Did 22" instead of 22.5" length on accident, fixed and went from 0.99" to 1.03" on the gap so same difference

    Super helpful @time623 ! I might actually be able to mount these a little lower (eventually) to get a little more travel out of them. Thanks again!

    Not sure how much it changes with compression on one side and droop on the other since the shocks aren't perfectly centered on the axle, but I think this will be a closer approximation than assuming they stay at 45d during the cycle

    Mount them with the least angle you can, they become less effective which each additional degree off of vertical. Lever ratio is a bitch

    Great point, I should be able to flatten (straighten?) them out for sure.

    @TACOTU3

    So apparently USPS paid on that claim for the parts they lost! That's uh, cool. Wonder if they send the check to my PO Box or physical address :playball:

    That does make me wonder what happened to the parts since someone literally cut out the front of the box.
