Bump stop and packer discussion
With the goal of adding some spring stiffness, has anyone tried adding some packers to the OEM suspension? In theory, this should engage the bump stop sooner and increase overall spring rate.

Sounds like spring spacers to pre-compress and reduce travel of suspension to sit on the bumpstops.

Are you tied to OEM suspension for a specific reason?
