Hi, Does anyone know the distance from the bump stop to the metal. It seem my truck has a clearance of about 3/4 of an inch front and rear. Is this normal?

Thanks

Thanks..... I was worried that the springs were sagging...... Do you have this " I can feel every bump and stone on the ground BUT takes the bests corners" feeling when you drive your Vx? :freek:

Thanks

Yes I have that feeling! Especially here where frost heaves the road. Most unpleasant. But I still love my baby!!

We have a pretty short wheelbase. I put taller springs on mine, and haven't extended the bumpstops yet. bounce, bounce, bounce...very annoying.

Don't get me wrong.... Driving alone, I love the hard ride great corners (everyday minimum 165Km/h!!!) but when I have some friends in there, they find it annoying. One even threw up. Any Ideas on how to soften the ride with minimum use of cash?

Thanks

You could cut down the bumpstops or get softer shocks/ springs.

Maybe let some pressure out of the tires.
