I did a rear bumpstop mod for my 5" lift. I had two 1" square tubes to extend down the factory bumpstop but that was not enough so I took it a step further and got a better setup.

Before:



This setup worked OK but wasn't enough bumpstop to keep my springs from inverting too much. I could have extended it more but I didn't like the looks of it and wanted something much stronger.

I ordered up some bumpstops from Summit Racing and some leaf spring bumpstop plates from DPG Off Road.

Total was $95 for both parts. Not exactly cheap but if you wanna do it right, then spend some money.

Before painting:



After:



The mod is quite simple. Just remove the stock spring plate and stock bumpstop and install dpg's plate with the bumpstop attached. His plates are designed for his 1/2" spacers but I drilled a center hole for the bumpstop. It works the same way.





That's about it. These bumpstops should give me a soft landing if I ever decide to catch some air. :rock:

 

Those look great.

 

looks like they would be pretty dang easy to fab up too

 

Yeah just use 3/8" or 1/2" thick steel and a couple small spacers to stack to desired height, that's if you are using the stock bumpstop.

This is how it's originally designed to be used:

 

i think i like the way you did it better, that and i dont have bump stops in the rear any ways, gotta love the DAPO! but i def like your idea

 

i got your bumpstops right here: http://thereifixedit.com/2009/09/11/...nsion-problem/

 

JKS manufacturing sells the same set up.
