Just a loaded it up with 2 adults, 2 kids and some standard camping gear (12v coolbox, tent, chairs etc). It's slamming on every bump, and feels like it's bouncing off the bump stops! I pulled over to check, so took the attached photo. Is this normal, or is something up with my leaf springs?

Bouncing off my bumpstops
So my Caddy Maxi has a flipped axle, set on the highest setting. When I lowered it, I cut 1 notch off the bumpstops.

Re: Bouncing off my bumpstops
Maybe you need a bit more cutting of the bump stops to give you a better ride. Now that you flipped the axle they are a lot closer to the spring than originally tendered
