About to get some new springs for the zuk and was interested in what peoples bumpstop to axle measurements were for various spring combo's. I think im down to 40mm-ish with my sagged set!

Also what is the stock clearance for the WT sierras?

40mm is probably not enough, but it depends what size tyres you are running aswell. I've got about 60mm with RUF, but am going to reduce this to 40ish soon, as I am fitting 33's with just virtual lift to give extra clearance.

It also depends what terrain you drive. If you are jumping it you should probably have 100mm or so.

Drivers side is about 10mm :P (and thats only because I bent my bumpstop extension up, otherwsie it would be permanently riding the bumpstop!).

My Sierra ran with about 25mm(1") for a while with the RUF, it wasn't enough for comfort though. have it up to about 50mm (2") now, and it rides pretty well :D

Cars in the club here run between about 60mm and almost nothing, and probably average 40mm.

The faster you want to go, the more compression you need. Sierras suck at going fast, so we run them as low as possible. If you can't go fast anyway, you might as well be stable when going slow.

i have ome 2" n 2" shackles with commy wagon shocks up front so im running 2" extended bumpstops.With my exo etc too its a bit heavier and sagged and has about 25mm DS and 34-40PS.I plan on cutting my shock mounts off soon and moving them up so i can gain the up travel again,maybe the full 2" or just an inch i am unsure yet.Just trying to use up what travel i have available and i only run 31s so should still have clearance
