Question Bump Stop question Front Upper which one is right for me?

Hi
I am looking to get some help on bump stops for the front upper.
for my 2001 Cherokee XJ

I have a 2.5" lower bump stop and "had" a hockey puck on top of that.
But!
I am installing my 6.5" kit now and want a new set of uppers instead of the hockey pucks.

Here you can see my 2.5" lower bump stops, as well as the velcro that I used to attatch my hockey pucks , haha
You can also see my little chubby bump stop.



Here it is again but out.




I am having a tough time.
I want to buy these like right now so I can get them before next weekend.
I found a few but the years are not mine, then I found one with my year and it says they are "small diameter" so what are the others ?? Large diameter?

I am thinking this is the set I need I just want someone to confirm for me before I buy.

Because I see these as well, some have a year some don't.

The only difference I can see is the hole size in the middle.
so not having anything to reference the size next to it makes it tough.
Are the older XJ's a bigger bump stop?
Do I need to buy the red ones from rusty's?
thats what I am leaning towards anyway just because it shows my year. .



thanks..

If I'm not mistaken all the seats are same size, its the diameter after that which is larger. I would run the Daystars just fyi.

Daystar makes some great stuff but it took me 3 months to get my bumpstops and 4 months to get a t-case drop. There customer service was terrible. Just my 2 cents.

Them. I have heard they have great customer service but they didnt for me.
They kept telling me they would ship out the next day but they never did.

Honestly, I've never had to deal with them being an issue. I would call qtec for customer service input before ordering. They'll be able to confirm what you need.

I ended up ordering the red ones from Rusty's that where small diameter, but they gave me black ones. I was so happy!!!

I am not done my lift install, but the little rock in front of my house was not large enough to get me to the bump stops, but I bet they will be perfect at full flex.








thanks for the help
