You don't have bump stops? Am I remiss in thinking that's a standard kind of part? I figured that's what I was riding on pulling a trailer with a ton of rocks in it...

you don't need no stinking bump stops. what the factory has is perfectly fine with those springs and struts.

I tow lots of stuff with my car. It's a champ. That time it was a bit overloaded. We were landscaping, had to go get some rock. She did just fine, it was only a couple of miles.
