Im getting a headache trying to visualise this. If i put extended bump stops in i'll get more travel, i cant get my head around this. I thought that reducing upward travel would also reduce down ward travel as the axle is solid and pivoting, so what goes up would be the same as what goes down as in distance??? Brain pain can Benny or nissanewby put up a picture how this works. I believe ya I just cant visualise. Understand a longer travel shock just not the bumpstop bit
