Awesome job ! I love the spring versus shock explanation. I have a quite bizarre phenomenon I've observed: I have added spring rubbers to my springs which have obviously stiffened the springs as desired. While zero change to ground clearance has occured , an increase in functional clearance has definitely occurred on breakover (this is expected). However , and this is the strange (but good part) almost zero change in the distance of a wheel from the ground on corner travel index was observed (the rear wheel). I don't have the same spring rubbers front and rear but they are similar. The rear spring rubbers could be a little softer. Is it the difference in front to rear stiffness that has allowed me to improve sort of "functional clearance " with no change to corner travel index ? It's a good thing that happened , either way. These are basically plastic rhino "oil change ramps". I've been doing experiments trying to pass this corner travel test with various modifications (passing would be all tires touching a ramp or the ground). It's very close. At 22 psi I can't even fit a deck of cards under the hiked tire and if the vehicle had 4 people inside it would pass the test. (I have more up travel but not enough weight to achieve it).
Excellent he explains things simplistically perfect😊
