[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 42746, member: 2708"] You can see why the passenger's bum gets such a paddling on a rough road . Bad passenger!!;-) Looks like about 4" total movement in both the front and rear.When fiddling about with measurements before building the Glenli rfm, I measured 4.5 inches non progressive movement on the rear of my Rapide. Perhaps the Thornton hits the stops a little bit earlier. The relationship between spring movement and axle movement in the front end is ideal, to my way of thinking. As Rob mentions, there is progression in the movement, which gives the front end the ability to soak up the millions of small irregularities like a softly sprung setup while retaining the ability to handle a big jarring bump like a firmly sprung setup.
