Thanks for the compliments guys. I got a little footage friday but haven't had time to edit it. Too big to upload. Here's a couple bad screenshots of that vid.

Well, I didn't really edit it but I did chop off the non action stuff at the beginning and end... There's like 3 or 4 spots where I hit a good little woop section. The rest is kinda boring unless you're like me and you're trying to study it. LOL. Gonna get I beam footage tomorrow.

I've got about 7-8" of bump at ride height. Ideally I woulda notched mine like yours but I sacrificed that extra few inches for hopefully longer spring life as the spring doesn't go into negative arc.

How hard were you pushing it? Any harsh bottoming out?

Is there a video there & showing for other people? All I see is a blank, white box.

In the past I've always seen & been able to watch videos, etc. Wonder if something has changed.

The area I was in was pretty mellow besides the like 50 ft of pretty rough woops really close together. I wish I had some outside footage. At times it sounds like it hits hard but it doesn't feel hard. I've checked under the truck a couple times to make sure nothing is hitting or something. Everything looks good. Just the bump zone on the shock taking over i guess?

I hit my rear bumps once at tuff trucks but never felt it. I dont know if I could soften it up just a little and get a little smoother in the middle of the travel.

It must be the camera angle but it looks like very little shock shaft showing. As long as it rides smooth that's what's important. Looks good man.

Ya, angle of shock along with angle of camera make it look like there's no up travel. I assure you though with the axle touching the frame there's 1/8" of shaft showing.
