Bumpstop Modification
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:
