Has anyone come up with a clean method of limiting the lower travel limit of their RCR project. If I lift the car on a jack the CV joints bind and the lower trailing arm hits the chassis. Straps? Bump stops? Other methods?
RCR rear suspension travel

I'm not a RCR owner, but the first thought I had was to put a bolt-on bump stop on the chassis where it currently hits..
Working on car projects, especially something like tweaking rear suspension travel, always comes with its fair share of trial and error—you never know when a tool or piece of equipment might slow you down.
As I recall, RCR said that the +2 suspension needed to have the lower windows into the chassis cavity opened up for clearance of the lower trailing arms. I did do that on mine, but I have no photos here. I had bought limiting straps for the rear suspension, but sold the car before they were implemented.
Your CV joints should not go into bind before the trailing arms contacted the chassis - I know mine didn’t..

I would expect the suspension droop travel to be controlled only by the coil over damper. Do you have the right length item?
Seeing this image gave me something new to think about that I never really considered. No bundle of snakes, why not, probably a less costly option to do it this way. Admittedly it looses that wow factor.
Tom hasn't signed onto the forum in just shy of 3 years. Not sure what solutions he came up with.
