what would happen if i filled the coils with hockey pucks??? PLEASE HELP

why would you want to do that? if they are filled full of hockey pucks, then they wouldnt have any travel. it defeats the purpose of having suspension. you might as well weld a piece of metal from the axle to the unibody.

Are we talking street or ice?

you would have coils with a bunch of hockey puck in them that will fall out

Hockey pucks are a great choice for a budget bumpstop. I've got 3 per side on my rig. I used a long bolt and simply drilled a hole through the pucks and the coil bucket and bolted them in. Less than $10 for a set of Homebrew bumpstops vs. $$$ for a set of name brand bumpstops. No brainer really.

i cant open the link from work but why would you fill it to the bumpstop. most people use the pucks like frankz said it adds to your bumpstops so your tires wont cut them selves on the fender. you still need the jeep to flex up, not just down like what you did sounds like. what size tires are you running and what lift.

i have stock tires and it actually sits about 2.5 higher then it was i dont plan on taking it offroad untill i fix the ball joints and tie rods so for now it makes it bigger then it was haha ok so im planning on taking them out and just putting in the spacers does anyone know how big of a spacer i can go with?

oh and only use about 2-4 hockey pucks for bump stops depending on your actual lift height
filling your coils with hockey pucks isnt only stupid (no offense) but a bad idea.
