Re: Make it handle
For a street driven c10 what is the recommended compression travel for the front end before contacting the bump stops? Front of the truck is approximately 2000 lbs. Front spring is moog 6542 with 842 lb/in spring rate.
Thanks in advance. |

3" of travel is always my target. Of course there's limitations depending on individuals set-ups so you gotta work within those. |

Re: Make it handle
On the subject of bump stops… I like progressive rate bump stops, I use them on my autocross car to increase the spring rate as the body rolls but they’re still soft enough to absorb bumps. Then have a traditional harder stop to keep the suspension from bottoming out. This lets you have a softer spring for ride quality and compliance but still have firmer cornering once the body rolls a bit. I leave about 1” of free travel before the soft bump stop engages. It also lets you use softer sway bars so the suspension is more independent side to side. You don’t want a super hard bump stop to limit travel either, hitting a hard bump stop in the middle of cornering hard can cause the tire/truck to skip sideways.
