I'm guessing that you've never felt the bumpers hit because you are sitting on them. That would make them feel adequate because the bars wouldn't be doing anything...
No, it is not sitting on the bumpers. I have seen the gap. When I first intalled the big block A-518 combo the t-bar jacking bolts were where they were with the S/6. The front end was too low. I turned the ja king bolts to raise the ride height to where I wanted it. There is without a doubt space between the bumper and control arm. Besides if I were driving around on the bumpers it would be obvious. No way I'm not going to feel that. I can't look at it now, the car is in storage over an hour's drive away but just by memory I'd say the gap is about 3/4 to 1 inch.
