We get calls on a regular basis from customers complaining about bottoming out when they are in the dunes. They have spent big money on revalving and springs but still have problems.
If it's harsh and abrupt you're probably not bottoming out the suspension. You are more than likely casing the frame.
Why is that?
It really comes down to the geometry of the rear suspension and the tire size. Many tire sizes, whether dirt or paddles, run short of the true size. Once you air them down they really shrink in diameter. So now instead of bottoming out the suspension, you are actually hitting or casing the frame.
Our "Shock Candy" shock stops help eliminate that problem by slightly reducing the overall travel of the shock at bottom out and brings the bottom out/joust bumper into play faster. The result is a much plusher feel as you enter bottom out and added ground clearance at full bottom out so you don't case the frame. Our Shock Candies come in two shaft sizes 3/4" and 7/8".
