Suspension travel control system

A suspension system for a vehicle, comprising,

• a vehicle frame,
• an axle,
• a suspension linkage having a first end portion, the suspension linkage movably connected to the vehicle frame at the first end portion of the suspension linkage to permit the suspension linkage to move at least in part in a vertical direction,
• a suspension travel control system comprising,
• a stop post secured at one end to the vehicle frame and presenting a first contact surface,
• a suspension travel control formation having a body and a base and presenting an interior surface defining an interior space,
• wherein the axle, the suspension linkage, and the suspension travel control formation are fixed in relation to one another by one or more fasteners and undergo generally vertical movement between a first position or jounce position, and a second position or rebound position,
• wherein the stop post is positioned in the interior space for the engagement of the first contact surface with a first portion of the interior surface of the suspension travel control formation to limit travel of the axle or the suspension linkage in a first direction that is not parallel to the generally vertical movement of the axle.

A suspension system for a vehicle, comprising,

• a vehicle frame,
• an axle,
• a suspension linkage, said suspension linkage being longitudinally disposed and movably connected to the vehicle frame,
• a suspension travel control system comprising,
• a stop post secured at one end to the vehicle frame and presenting a first surface and a second surface,
• a suspension travel control formation having a body and a base and presenting a first contact surface and a second contact surface, the first contact surface spaced apart from, and on opposite sides of the stop post from the second contact surface,
• wherein the axle, the suspension linkage and the suspension travel control formation are fixed in relation to one another by one or more fasteners, and
• wherein the suspension travel control formation and stop post are configured to move relative to one another and in accordance with the movement of the suspension system, and
• wherein the first surface of the stop post and the first contact surface of the suspension travel control formation are positioned for engagement with one another to limit movement of the suspension system in a first direction, and the second surface of the stop post and the second contact surface of the suspension travel control formation are positioned for engagement with one another to limit movement of the suspension system in a second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are generally opposite one another.

• a suspension linkage, said suspension linkage being longitudinally disposed and movably connected to the vehicle frame
• a suspension travel control system comprising
• a stop post secured at one end to the vehicle frame and presenting at least one contact surface,
• a suspension travel control formation having a body and a base, the body comprising a link having an interior surface defining an elongated interior space,
• wherein the axle, the suspension linkage, and the suspension travel control formation are fixed in relation to one another and undergo generally vertical movement during operation of the suspension system, and
• wherein the stop post is positioned in the interior space for the engagement of the at least one contact surface of the stop post with the interior surface of the body of the suspension travel control formation to limit downward travel of the axle or the suspension linkage during operation of the suspension system.
