Is anyone having issues with hitting the bump stop under acceleration? Seems like my fat TA's are getting good traction and sometimes I can feel the bump stop hit, also when going over some rather rough roads, dips and the like.

Doubt it is the bump stop unless your car sits very low and maybe the springs are not up to the task.Are you talking the rearend pinion snubber?

Loose shock?

Got a feeling it is a spring rate problem, seems a little soft and yes it is hitting off the top of the rear end snubber not sure I am talking about the same thing you are, hard enough from the previous owner that the rubber was gone and it was hitting the bolt head where it was attached to the frame. I have fixed that, but still does hit, will look at the springs. Thanks!

These cars will take a lot more spring than one would think.If you do not have coil-overs look into progressive springs.Without adjustable control arms it's impossible to set pinion angle.
