How many hockey pucks??

Mtb Jak · Jan 6, 2009

Okay im rebuilding my hp d30 for the swap/build this weekend..

I will be running 5 inches of lift, and 33x10.5 inch tires...

I am trimmed like soo

I have about 12 of them (hockey buddy came thru) these buggers would have been expensive!

I got 6 drilled already and got the center hole on the axle perch drilled. I was thinking 3 on each side?? I am running the stock upper rubber thing.

How many do you guys usually use??

I am running 35's on the same lift more or less and I run 2 hockey pucks under a 2" bumpstop with the stock rubber thing. I would think 3 would do fine. Just flex on something until the tires are where you want them, then see how many pucks will fit in the space. $5 on 3 pucks-my best bet.

I've got either 6 or 7 per side, I forget which...:wierd:

Good Luck

Do you like up travel? haha Im sure it works just fine but how much up travel do you get outta that setup?

MoparManiac · Jan 7, 2009

i get 4" of uptravel and 8" of droop.

I've yet to bottom it out?

I have 3 hockey pucks, along with an RE bump stop thing, which is about 2 hockey pucks wide.

Thats at 6.5'' of lift, and 35s.

There is something about that picture that just don't seem right, but I can't put my finger on it.

I run 2 pucks for 5" of lift and 31's. I do it so I don't bottom the shocks.

It was in there somewhere...although by that point in the build I was pretty sick of documenting stuff.

On the lower spring seat I welded a 1/2" nut underneath, and I have a big honkin 1/2" bolt that runs through the pucks. Unfortunately with 6" of bolt exposed it tends to bend a little bit...I haven't had one become a problem, seems like about every 8 months or so I've got a reason to pull the springs out to work on something, so I drop some new ones in then.

Hallo. A hockey puck is 1" high. When you lift 2" , you need 2 pucks. But 4 pucks stacked ,don't look stable to me. :shhh:

Thats the exact same setup I'm running,RE4.5, ACOS(roughly 5.5"). I have 2 hockey pucks and the RE extended bumpstop spacer, which would equal about 3.5 hockey pucks total. I'm trimmed way more than you though.

How many hockey pucks??
