( if I am setting up a tourer I would set 50/50 bump droop IMO only), that'll give you an indication of where your bumps need to be. If you really want to get into it, factor in spring block height (#of coils x wire diameter).

Also always have a bit of shock shaft showing at full bump. Mine's about 15mm
I will be looking at coil block as i am only working with a 2" lift.
I may have to extend the bumps instead of the shock mount due to this alone. .
