XV01 suspension travel

Recommended Posts

As several of you are aware, I'm in the process of building an XV01LDS. I've read online that the long damper spec doesn't actually increase ride height, nor does it increase suspension travel. Supposedly it only increases shock travel, which is fine I guess.

Down to my question: At stock settings, the front suspension at full droop causes the steering turnbuckle ends to catch against the chassis when I'm at full lock either way. Is this normal? Won't it interfere with driving? I'm thinking of shaving the bottom of the rod ends slightly, or shaving down the chassis section that catches, but I'd rather have a more elegant solution if one exists.

On the front I have used my dremel to grind away some material from the chassis, this has increased the downward travel. The long damper spec mods have given me more upward suspension travel too, so the chassis can now bottom out.
