Technical 2012 cab/chassis Front suspension

[Walter1]

Have a 2012 3.0 litre 180Hp Cab? chassis with a horse box coachwork.

Re the front suspension are there bump stops on the front ? Does anyone have a parts list/schematic?

I know and can see the ones on the rear.

Has anyone fitted or had experience of the uprated shocks from Bilstien Dampmatic or the Koni equivalent, the suspension grounds out when hitting a pothole regardless of depth. Clearly when the horses are loaded we are carrying a fair weight.

The pothole being a short duration impulse into the suspension, we do not suffer wallowing as maybe with a camper van due to the weight on board.

Any experiences and thoughts greatly received.

Thanks

Take a look round https://eper.fiatforum.com/en/SubGroups/F/T/D94/PE/443

and navigate deeper into each diagram by clicking the little circles in the diagram.

I can't see any bump stops on the struts from the pics I glanced at.

I'd be replacing both front springs also if you're changing dampers, if the springs are knackered it'll still bottom out, and destroy those bump stops anyway.
Obviously the correct springs for the engine type and chassis too.
