We run IMCA and this year we can run bump stops. With the bump stocks I set the RF for a smashed number around 2400 with 3.75" of shock travel from ride height, we are no longer bottoming out the right lower chassis rail and cross member (hurrah!!.) Running bump stops in the RR, but have backed off on them as the driver indicates the car has lost "side-bite." Will look at the shock tattletales after this Friday nights run to understand the dynamic forces there and adjust the ride height and spring accordingly, maybe.
