Can't bottom out blue/gray rocket ?

[RacerX10]

You will never really be above ride height with the chassis posture and rebound used these days. Not even if you leave the ground.

Right .. but what about 13 years ago when the blue/gray was first built ?

Dunno, just pondering.

Probably had a shock mount on top of the lower a arm.

Slightly changing track .. from what I'm getting from Rocket Inc ... it appears there are a few different ways to get to the 3" and 4" load numbers they would like to see. A few different stack combos, single spring, single spring with bump spring, etc.

I'm wondering if the load numbers all land in the same place with these different combos, is there any practical difference in them ?

That's what I been trying to say. Load is load, to a point. There are some differences in progressive vs linear loading and you can get in trouble with abrupt stiffness changes in the wrong travel points. That said, I've had success with lots of different pieces of hardware.

Good to know. I appreciate your patience with my "learning out loud" process here

just to update this thread, I called Rocket this morning and they're sending me the parts to give me another 2 in of travel on the right front. I think that should get me where I need to be.

Did they say what the parts are?

shorter lower shock eye, 1" gain there

new upper shock mount bracket to the chassis, 1" taller there

Thanks. I figured it had to be more than one thing. I didn't think you'd get 2" out of just the upper shock mount.

Good luck with it!

I smashed the setup with the new C-C of 18.750 and the shorter shock eye, (turns out I had one already) and the new 3" and 4" numbers are coming out right where I need them to be with the bump spring installed.
