I've been trying to find the answer to this but can only come up with information for lowered vehicles. On my 2002 yuk at rest on level ground it is sitting on the bumpstops, they aren't smushed down but the LCA is resting against them. Is this correct?

my denali is the same way i have always wondered if this is normal
GM calls them Jounce Stops, and yes they are supposed to be close to or resting on the stops at ride height. Torsion bar ifs suspensions have little to no natural rebound so, unlike a coil spring or leaf spring setup, the suspension needs quite a bit of support and/or dampening to maintain ride quality and performance. My truck is sitting on compressed z71 stops and I have bilstein front shocks that feature an integrated bumpstop to further aid in controlling the front end. Regardless of suspension setup the front bumpstops should be addressed, I prefer the z71 bumpstops and have had the best luck with them thus far...really aids in handling as well.

Max, thanks for the explanation. I never realized the significance of the the stops. Maybe I should replace the front and rear right side that is chewed up and mostly gone lol. The Z71 bump stops would work well with a stock 4x4 Tahoe? what would happen if I cranked the keys or installed F150 keys? Would the angle changes make the bump stops too short? Also, I have never been able to find them anywhere. Are they dealer only?
