Bumps top difference?

I know my '89 had the 1.5" diameter front bump stops but My buddy needs to order a set for his 2000. Quadratec shows both a 1.5" diameter and a 2" diameter bump stops for the 2000 year. Any thoughts as to which ones he needs?

This is what Quadratec shows

2"

He is out of town and we are trying to get the parts in so we can get his lift done before a trip to Co that we are doing

Factory part # is 5200 4295 if that helps...

Can't imagine why they would have 2 different sizes unless one is for 2wd and other is for 4wd.

Or perhaps an upgraded suspension package? :dunno:

Maybe buy them both and return the pair you don't use?


Edit: Same bump stops for 2wd and 4wd.

Older XJ's have front bump stops and a cup that threads onto the post. Newer XJ's have bump stops that wiggle out of and press back into the post.

Try shopping somewhere that has a better catalog, IDK what size to order, but a catalog should have more specific parts application info that that.

Daystar had the catalogging wrong for the bumps I bought from 4WD parts for my 98' about two years ago. The diameter was too large and Daystar sent me new ones with the smaller diameter free of charge after a long talk with one of their techs. Sounds like they still have not fixed their catalogging.

Not sure if the shape is just cosmetic, or if they used the wrong picture, but these are the same Daystar part number and are the ones I ordered for my 93.

I ordered the 2" first because I figured I could always shave them down to 1.5" if I needed to. Ended up just eating the money and ordered the 1.5" after a few hours of shaping and fitting.


I'm not sure which, if any, XJ uses the 2" diameter stops as I can't seem to find a picture of a stock housing thats that large. Both sizes of the Daystar stops have the exact same body dimensions and its only the top inch or so that goes into the cup thats different.

I highly doubt he needs the 2". I've never seen an XJ with them that large. All the XJ's I've worked on have been the same. 91,93,94,98,99, and 00 have all had the same diameter of bumpstops.

Thanks for the info guys!

The only XJ I have seen with the larger bump stop also had a dana 44
