Default E85

Thanks
I feel a metal on metal travel limiter on the front suspension has to shock the back tires to abruptly.
After you spend all kind of money on double adjustable shocks to make everything articulate at a controlled rate it seems counter productive to then have metal on metal so I put that stiff little coil spring on the all thread. The travel is adjustable with the nylock nut and the bottom of the rod is mounted with rubber shock bushing to also help soften the same negative effect.
