5 Drop-Which Bumpstops? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was planning on removing the rivedeted on bumpstop and "holder" on the rear and simply bolting these to the frame over the axle.

What did you do?

the ones I got with the DJM kit are much thinner than the ones you have pictured.

The ones above are 2 1/8" long and 2" wide.

They have others, like these...

the last ones are what I have

Do they work ok (not that they do very much)? Do they hit hard?

I usually drive pretty cautiously. When and if the rearend does hit the bumpstops, it will rattle your teeth. Not that it will ride any better, but I need to c-notch it and drop it two more inches. I am getting tired of the rake, but I don't want to invest the funds in bagging this truck....yet.

With my DJM Flip Kit, I just completely removed the bumpstops and their brackets. I have about 4" from the frame to the axle, so, until I go a little lower (like 1-2") I won't need the bumpstop..
