[bb1979]

I wouldn't use HQ - WB lowers as they aren't really strong enough and tend to crack and bust off (been there done that), I'm using 1976 Toyota Hilux lower front rubbers in the front of mine, but they aren't reproduced aftermarket.

My crossmember used to rest on the metal pad of the factory bump stops, so I drilled out the spot welds removed the bracket, sliced, diced and strengthened it to retain the steering stop and bolted it back on.

Off memory you will be looking for a bump stop which is between 40 and 50mm tall. The wrecking yard is your best friend most utes and 4wd's are the best source, I did the conversion on my dad's truck and I raided Datsun, Mitsubitsi and Navara's of their fronts and rears till I came up with something that worked.

Not the best pics but you can sorta see what I have done with mine. This was when I was running cut down Volvo units. I didn't have springs installed in these shots as I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to the on the deck before I hit the bump stop, you can see the modified bracket in the second pic on the floor at the bottom of the photo
