Bumpstops?

[crazyjim]

I never ran the poly bumps, I went straight to air bumps up front. In the rear I'm running the poly's. I fabbed up a bracket though for the axle, and used my stock bump to fine tune it, by cutting and what not.

oh i didnt know you were still running the polys in the rear.

i think i am going to steal your design for the back of mine

Feel free, I just made a template out of cardboard and went to town. They work well...

It's not so much about tire size as it is the shock. The last thing you want to do it bottom out your shocks.

nope bottoming out the shock would suck.

spoke too soon, was doing that zip tie thing. wasnt going that hard, but i got air and bottomed out. now to go do my bumps!

lol i am going to the dunes sunday so i will be doing the zippy tie trick and seeing what happens

 

[kmanxj5050]

now for fronts since i know what i am gonna do on the back.

i was looking at just extended poly ones that go in the stock hole.

is that a good idea or are the ones that just sit inside the coil the best choice?

besides air bumps of course

i bought the poly extendo bumps for the front along with the evs jounce shocks bump things

Stacked pucks wasn't working out so well for me. The stock bumpstops suck when you hit them hard, and I bent the bumpstop towers on both sides.

I cut the towers off and swapped in 2" airbumps. Much better.

It's still not a high-speed desert rig by any stretch, but it goes pretty good. Trail riding and prerunning stuff is much more comfortable now.

^^^^ DAMN!!!!!

i think i will completely erase the hockey puck thing from my brain lol

 

[vetteboy]

For normal trail use, hockey pucks can be a fine solution.

For the levels of hell I put this thing through, it needed something a little more robust.

I run the Polly coil ones in front, went with the 10" ones. I run two sets one cut down to 3.5 rings(my race/jumping set) and one set cut to 2.5 rings(trail riding set). I had to drill a few 1/2" holes in both sets to soften them but they are the best thing I have ever done to my rig. Well worth every penny...andy miobi.org
