For those who are curious what's the deal with bump stops, this video should help answer how they work with an analogy most people can relate to - walking or running! If you imagine your legs falling out from under you, you'll end up on your butt. You can call that a 'butt stop'!
I realize the analogy with your 'legs getting shorter' is a bit graphic. The concept came to me a a very clear illustration of what's actually happening with a POORLY-TUNED suspension, whether from the factory or an aftermarket product. It's letting you down, and needs to be addressed.
For a vehicle suspension, you have a soft foam cushion aka a bump stop to prevent your vehicle from 'crashing' downward into the ground. The bump stop is designed to progressively increase force as you continue compressing it. You can see more videos in our How Bump Stops work series for technical data and samples of various stops on different vehicle.
If you experience harsh bottoming out, banking, clanking, or rough ride then you might need your bump stops replaced and very likely it's other parts of your suspension that are causing that roughness or harshness (such as the springs or the shocks / struts). The Fat Cat Motorsports (FCM) bump stop kits are based on the Speedthane bump stop which is a Top-Quality NODI/TDI-grade product that is superior to many typical lower-cost automotive bump stops.
