MartinClan is on a distinguished road
Default Rear Suspension

Travel at the bumpstops is about 3 1/2"

With the driveshaft parallel to the ground there is about 2" travel left at the bumpstop = 2 x 16.5/12.5 = 2.64" at thw wheel - not a lot.

I suppose the spring could be weaker and longer. If we take black-cats suggestion and make it 8" long - hang on I need to think about this - back in a minute...
