Rubber bumper suspension stops

[4x4ord]

How much clearance is considered enough?

Looks like you didn’t land any fish on this trip....

The pic is with a gooseneck trailer hooked up ..... about 5k lbs of pin weight.

Then that’s exactly where they should be.

They basically act as overload springs, but without the spring slap or excess rebound. They can be fully engaged.

Yeah, eyeballing, it looks like about 1" of articulation before it hits the stop.

When I installed sumo springs on my F250, there was around 5" when empty (to the OEM bump stop) and putting the 5th wheel on at up a little less than 2" due to sag.

I assume you are heavily loaded and every bump you hit, the axle is going to bottom out.

That appears to be too close, IMO. What is the truck model? I assume the camper is attached? What about cargo in the bed and passengers?
