I'm not sure a bumpstop is the answer here.

Most hoses get broken on the extension cycle, not the compression cycle....but, if you are breaking air line hoses on compression, you either ran them so as to be pinched/kinked on compression, or, had a connector so loose that a bump would knock them loose, etc.

Your shock's compression valving is most likely too weak to slow the rising rear axle.

You WANT it to absorb the rising axle's energy the way a catcher pulls his glove back when catching a fast ball, to dissipate the energy gently, to avoid a jarring impact.

If its too weak, the axle slams upwards unchecked and hits the stops.

Now, if the rear jolts are NOT from over compression, your compression valving can be too STRONG, as in it takes TOO MUCH FORCE to compress the shocks, and the energy from the rising axle is transmitted as a jolt to the frame...

...like the catcher NOT pulling the glove back, but letting the fast ball slam into the fist stiff armed, so it bounces back out, etc.

So - What kind of jolts are you getting back there?....as you wanted longer stops, it SOUNDS like you at least believe the problem is not being able to control the rear axle rise...

I agree with what said above good explanation I must say.

My rear arb locker hoses gets snacted when the axle travels upwards during high speed on trails not rock crawling. part of the problem is D60 pumpin is big and right on top of it is EVAP cansister bash plate.

I have KING custom coils and shocks on order so thinking about replacing the factory rubbigh rubber bump stops with king bumstops. I have seen pictures of EVO front bumpstop replacement but not the rear.

Note: I am not talking about coilvers where the bumpstop location and setup is totally different.

So any pic of the rear bump stop installed

I'm not sure what "snacted" refers to.....Smacked? Snagged? Smashed?

?

I'm wondering, because I'd need to know what exactly is making the line break on the uptravel.

Are you saying the line on top of the D60 is hitting the Evap Skid/Bash plate?

IE: You don't have room for full uptravel because the pumpkin comes up and hits the skid?

Maybe just relocate the evap cannister to a safer spot, and free up the room there for the D60?
