Crazy red neck idea?....or will this actually work?
Can I use a piece of 2x4 to extend my rear bump stops 2 inches, (Mount the wood between the body and the bump stop).
I don't think this is the best idea in the world, but as long as the Jeep doesn't simply explode when trying this I'm willing to give it a shot.
Note this is for very mild off roading only, (pastures and dirt roads)
Also, how do I know what size Daystar front sway bar bushings to order?
Quadratec sells them in 23, 24, 25 and 28mm.

As far as your sway bar bushings, I asked the same question once and was told to measure the sway bar with calipers to determine the size. There is no other way to know.

It'd probably work for a while, but heck man, if you've got a decent drill you could get some scrap shorts of rectangle tubing from a local steel supplier and use that. It'd last forever haha. In any case, the bumpstops are not a crucial part of your suspension, you won't die if they fail lol.

By the way, hockey pucks with a hole drilled through the middle make great (and really cheap) bump stop extenders. And they'll last longer than anything made of wood.

Why wouldn't you just use 2*2 square tubing and get extended bolts and put it between your frame and stock rear bumpstop? It's doing the same thing as your wood idea, but much safer and long term.
