Distance between LCA bumper and frame.

I have the PST 1.03 torsion bars, bilstein shocks, triangular factory rubber stop and will run a 215/70/14 tire. Kinda curious where most run their bump stops. Seems like the stop 3/4 inch from frame might be good. Looking at how low some guys cars are their stops must be on the frame. I’d like for my suspension to be active.

Even with the factory stops you need more than an inch of clearance with the 1.03” bars. If you run with a 3/4” of clearance and the 1.03” bars you’ll be on the bumpstops all the time with suspension travel.

Like I said, with 1.12” bars and just under 1” of clearance I still occasionally hit the short bump stops I run. The 1.03” bars will have a wheel rate that’s probably about 15-20% less than the 1.12’s I have. That means you need about 15-20% more clearance between the bump stop and the frame if you don’t want to be hitting the bump stops all the time.
