A similar rubber ring inserted into the U-channel with a bolt spanning through its center horizontally means that there's only about 1/2" of travel in each direction. It seems that this would be sufficient in all but the worst of circumstances, so I'm curious to learn more about what 40's experiences were regarding overall travel of the suspension.
I'll post another screenshot as soon as I clean up the new iteration a bit more.

From our experience, 1/2" should be more than sufficient for any playing surface out there. I would suggest putting the most amount of give in the system in the upward direction. So just having one 1" shock on the top would be enough.
