Re: bump stop

Looks like that should keep the tires off the inner fenders.

Re: bump stop

Here you go Charlie, (70k52wd),... very easy to make. And easy to change later if you want to go lower.

Re: bump stop

To measure, air down to an inch or so from the liner. Then get the measurement at lower plate to cross member?

Re: bump stop

Yep. Get about an inch away from the inner fender. Then measure from the lower control arm bag plate up to the crossmember. That will be the total distance. Subtract the height of the rubber bumpstop. Then give me a measurement of how tall to make the metal base.

Re: bump stop

Great, I'll get a number to you asap. I feel like driving without bumpstops, kinda like driving without insurance.

Re: bump stop

Let me know if you need some. These are steel, not aluminum.

Re: bump stop

I probably will need a set when I update the front suspension. Right now I have set of built that bolt to the stock control arm. I don't think they will fit on the ART arms, I know they don't look that good...

Get me a height measurement of just the metal base,... and I'll make a couple when I get some free time at work.
