Front Suspension Travel

How much should there be on the front of a 1993 W350? How much room between the bump stop and where it hits? I wanna make sure my front springs are dead before spending the $$..

Thanks,

About 4-6cm(around 2") on suspension travel from bump stops to leaf springs.

I have a skyjacker 2" front leaf spring lift kit and I have 9cm(3½") travel. I'm looking 1½" taller bump stops that my leafs won't arch in a reverse. I just destroyed my drivers side leaf pack...

Where I can get taller bump stops?

Erska,

You might want to check out the Timbren site. Don't limit yourself to just Dodge products, look by the dimensions you need as they have a zillion or so sizes.

I don't know what it would take to get them to where you are but maybe there is a EU version of the company.
