Bump stop selection

Modern vehicles are more fragile than they used to be. Even the trucks & SUVs.

I know. I've played around with various bumpstops and read about their properties.



You could get a pair of shoes with the soles made of the same modern foam material. But it still won't be safe to step off 4-foot drop and land with your legs straight & knees locked. The 'hockey stick' property of the resistance isn't enough to make it safe if the impact is still too abrupt in the big picture.

With the right amount of foam with the proper curve it would be fine.....you know, properly sized for the application. What you said was equivalent to coil springs don't work because the spring out of my bic pen won't hold the car up.
