I need some suggestions on how to extend the bump stop / bump stop housing on a 92.
The issue I'm having is that I am installing an Airlift 80702 bag as well as a 2" Teraflex coil spacer.
I need the air bag to support the weight of a snow plow.
The issue becomes that the air bag is now 2" too short to do anything. It's designed to be installed in place of the rubber bump stop. You are suppossed to remove the bump stop and bolt this large plastic disk up there.
The issue with the 92 is that the bump stop mount is recessed about an inch in the housing. That, combined with the 2" I'm losing by installing the coil spacer leaves me with a need to mod something.
I can't use the hockey puck trick because the inlet stub of the air bag goes through the coil spring base. I have to drill it out to run the air line through it, to the bag.
I was thinking of using a 3-1/4" long piece of 1" pipe and running a really long 10mm bolt through it. That would extend it down, but i'm not sure of how strong it'll be.
Thoughts and opionions please.
