[QUOTE="rtmozingo, post: 1383710, member: 24616"] It is a good point so I should clarify what I mean above: during normal high speed offroading, you most likely will routinely go through the full amount of travel in the front, and occasionally the rear. This is normal, acceptable, and generally not harmful to the truck. However, this is a good indicator that you are approaching the speed limit for that obstacle, and need to back off. The stock shocks have a built in bump-stop zone which greatly increases resistance towards bottoming out at the end of the travel. So, those running bump stops will find their bump stop engaged, because the aftermarket bump stop starts significantly before the actual bump zone of your suspension. Unless your bump stop was [nearly] fully compressed, you probably wouldn't have hit the stock bump stop. Of course, the bump stop engaging earlier allows it to act as a secondary shock, aiding your stock bypass in doing its job. Best way to tell if you've bottomed out is by sound - you'll hear the thunk out of the rears. example 1: [MEDIA=youtube]aJ0chB1EprY[/MEDIA] [URL='https://youtu.be/6Oe-kYEK_Yw?t=265']example 2[/URL] [/QUOTE]
