Stiff front end looking at aftermarket solutions

Wait what? If that is true; then of course by your push-down test, it will be stiff, as the suspension has almost no where to go, and the T-bars have very little preload on them..... so basically the bumpstops are bouncing it back up, and then the chassis lands back on the stops halting downward progress; and the noise we hear is the bumpstops complaining about it.
In this instance,I can't see your push-down test being valid.

When i get after this project i will take a video of how much it takes to move the suspension without torsion bar and shock.
then i will do another one with my new part..........Stickson is not good. Smooth and free is much better.
I would like to use some sort of measuring device like a fish scale.........think i would max the scale out with my current setup.

We need a new test.
I'm thinking to get the chassis up high enough to let the wheels hang. Then push the T-bars out. Then, shocks still off; jack the wheel up somehow to then just rip the jack out and watch the wheel fall down in freefall.
What'll that tell you? Idk, I'm not a racer, but I'll watch that video at least 10 times lol.
Remember to leave enough shock on it, for landing,lol.

:lol:You some crazy man
