I don't think it's less important given the short travel, I'm just saying it's going to be far more difficult given the short travel. With less travel you're going to have to get much stiffer much sooner, even with the air bumps.I disagree with you about the short travel being less critical than long travel. It is my opinion that it's MORE critical with less travel since there isn't enough "Fluff zone " to recover from poor damping performance? It needs to be correct or you will be eating bumpstops and bending axles. This is also why I spent the money on air bumps.........Cushion the hits that sneak up on you before it slams and taco's the front axle.
Maybe I should have just gone the coilover route so that I could swap rates at will........ Coilovers are not a trouble free quiet 125K mile solution though. This is how I got to where I'm at now........ I don't have an unlimited budget, but I have a shop full of tools, smarts, years of experience of what I do/don't like, and a reasonable amount of time/$$$ to accomplish this.
