Bought and butchered some poly bumpstops. It would have been nice to know ahead of time that there are 1 1/2" AND 2" bumpstops for a Cherokee. I guess thats what I get for not checking before hand.

Saw something terrible today... The carnage that is my rear passenger tire! God knows how but my tire got all cut up on the INSIDE of my fender well. The inside on the backside, closest to the gas tank, is all bent up as well. How the hell?

I took a 3# mini sledge to the seam on mine and folded it over towards the gas tank to avoid that.
