your bump stop hight is set to stop shit smashing into other shit with upward travel so trying to change your bump stops to get more upward travel will probably result in a whole pile of new problems to deal with :mrgreen:

bump stops are engaged during the last few inches of compression travel to help cushion heavy impacts.

The advantage is you can limit travel in certain circumstances if you wanted to. ie, on road or speed sections or maybe if fitting bigger tires - times when big flex can be a hindrance instead of helpful.

I imagine this mod would need a cert (but thats a guess).
