I think your starting to get it------


Don't limit the suspension travel with the shock travel-use snubbers or other limiters
when you have the suspension angles and movements mapped out and verified, you then do the upper shock mounting location to a distance that is a little less(so suspension doesn't bang out the shock-----and doesn't bottom on the lower during compression. Then whwn all that's freed up/non binding, no bump steer.etc-choose springs that will work with your numbers-------suggest looking at some of the variable rate springs
