Fox 2.0 bumps..or you can look into the poly bumps..they go inside your coil and actually work really good! Gives a nice soft ride...

I actually drilled some small..maybe 3/16" holes in the upper half of them. This gave a softer compression for smaller bumpers. And Left the lower half untouched, so on big bumps they'd get stiffer which was nice. They work great for only 50 bucks lol..little creativeness makes them better!

Easy, drop front end, cut out the bump stop tower, plate the topside inside the engine back! Use it inside your coil spring like normal, and if needed stack a hockey puck or 2..

I've seen them welded on the inside of the frame rails! And then either make new spring plates which would probably be best! Or welded and gusset a peice of 3/16" off your spring plates, over to the bump stop!
But make sure to gusset the underside, or the air bump will eventually bend the peice of metal!
