i've been running 4.5" of lift on the xj for many years now w/o bumpstops on the front or rear. I take it easy, but lately i bottomed out pretty hard and bent the lower control arm bracket with my TB mount (REHD). I've decided speed is fun and dont want to ruin the rs9000s with too many hard hits.
The '88 has the screw in type of mount and i threw away the bumpstops long ago. The cheapest stock replacements i can find will run me $30. I was thinking that those allong with hockey pucks could work until i get airborn. any other options? I was thinking that if i could get some poly and machine it to the proper shape with a hole in the mid, i could bolt it in the existing holes and that might work?
as for the rear, i kept the stock ones there and built some extensions off the spring plates to raise the contact. it works nicely, but i NEED some in the front now.
