No, I don't always achieve full compression on the dirt road, there are some deeper ruts and bigger potholes I've hit though where it just slams down in the rear...has knocked my rear door off kilter twice so far...

I presume cranking T-Bars or lifting give it more space? Is that correct?
Here is a pic of my rear bump stop. Is this a normal amount of space to have on a stock VX? I can't even squeeze my finger between the bump stop and the rear axle. If lifting it will put more room between the bumpstop and the rear axle thereby improving the ride I think I may have to go that route. I can't go through another winter of hitting potholes and feeling my teeth rattle.
