Bottoming Out!!

[Hetiloak]

Hi, new member here.
Just lowered my 02 Escalade with a Groundforce kit, kit included shocks. Problem i have is that every bump makes the vehicle bottom out on the stops. This has happened without the rear seats in or any of my kids!! One reply on the escalade forum says to do a "free travel mod" anyone done it? Did it work?

Help appreciated.

Pretty much everybody here had done it since it's practically a necessity (as you have found out). It definitely does work. Just cut out the whole bump stops in the rear (metal and all). If you search the forums you might find some pictures of it done. I think I saw it somewhere on here but can't remember where.

Front shuld ride resting on thw bumpstops.

Rear needs free travel mod, just cut off the brackets and mout some low profile bum stops on the frame or axle
