Suspension travel

Coming along pretty well on modifying the XKE rear end for my XK120, but had a question about suspension travel, or rather about limiting suspension travel. I didn't see any stops, either up or down on the XKE unit I got. The only limits appeared to be the shock assemblies. I've always been under the impression it's a bad idea to use shocks as limiting devices, but it certainly appears that's what's being done here. Is this how Jaguar does it, or am I missing some pieces?

Thanks
Jim

Re: Suspension travel

In regards to rear suspension travel; Please read Bump Stops are very Important in the old forum.  The thread goes on to show a picture of a stock Jag bump stop which was designed to cushion on top of the aluminum hubs.  Also, Daze chimes in on where to get them.  Seems like you could make a bracket on your frame to mount these.
