Rear bump stops -- optional or necessary?

[blacksambo]

Lots of vehicles have these types of travel limiters. Unless I see a link to something showing Isuzu really considered this an "active" part if the suspension, I think you're stretching to make the assumptions you're making.

I totally agree with your assessment on analysis though!

All you have to do is look at the cut-away drawings on the VX JDM brochure to see that the spring helper basically rides on the rear axel to know it had to be an active part of the suspension that was intended curbed body roll.

Is there an online link? In the "Rear Suspension" diagram of this link we don't even see the stops pictured. That tells me they're not considered an active part of the suspension.

Thank you for your request. VT Maverick recently posted the entire JDM brochure on the board, which depicted the cut away reveal of the rear helpers' close proximity to the rear axel.
