Do you have any pics of your suspension?
Where exactly is it hitting?

Re: coolride bumpstops location?

Are you still running stock A-arms, or dod you go to Strong-Arms?


Either way, here's what I had done to mine. The first set up is the stock arms. The stops were set so the truck would roll when aired out.

Ken is it just the pic or do those bump stops rub the bag? It really looks like it rubs hard in the first pic. What the heck?

Chuck- It's just the angle of the pic. I couldn't find the one I have that show it from above. It's actually a couple of inches from the bag.

It's pretty simple set up. Note that the top of the stop was cut to fine tune it. If you need a better pic let me know.

Re: coolride bumpstops location?

Is that a square or triangulated tube?
