I'll have to admit that I'm a little confused. If the housing travels far enough to bottom on the frame snubbers, then you don't have enough spring in the car. The shocks have nothing to do with the weight-carrying capabilities of the car and are only there as linear de-accelerators. Unless, of course, if they're wrapped with a spring themselves as with an overload shock.
What happens when you remove the shocks altogether and drive the car? If it bottoms, it needs more spring.
It also sounds like the original shocks may be bottoming due to limited travel.
Put more spring in it if it bottoms without shocks, then adapt shocks with sufficient travel.Last edited by techinspector1; 08-31-2005 at 11:39 AM.
