One of my factory bumpstops is missing, and I need to extend them anyway approx. 3". Any cheapo ideas you've come up with for the rear? I got a few brewing, haven't decided yet. Ideas please!
Some Comanche bump-stops are a bit longer.
Then stick a chunk of box tubing between the bump-stop and frame when you bolt them up. Even if you don't have a way to cut the tubing you can still do it, just go to a machine shop and ask if you can look in their scrap bin to see if you can dig up a couple of pieces the size you need.
Bump stops are a necessary part of your suspension. Their primary purpose is to keep you from blowing your shocks or damaging the body, but they also act as a lever point, transfering force from the tire being stuffed over to the drooped tire. This greatly increases the downward force on the drooped tire and improves traction.
i have the usual rusty's extended bump stops, but I am going to grab a piece of steel 3/8 ish? and match it up with the rear upper spring/axle plate. Match up the u-bolt holes and center pin hole, drill five holes and be done... the plate will hang over the axle to hit the bumpstop.. should be good for 2" or so...
