Default bumpstops???

Im Looking for some tall front bump stops for my 6.5 long arm. Ive seen some lower 5 inch ones but forgot what website that they were on. Im really just looking for any idea of how to do it or where to get them. Any type of bought ones or homemade ones will give me some help?
Thanks in advance!

here...

http://greatlakesxj.activeboard.com/...ont-bumpstops/

includes write up and pics.

I am just on the tail end of doing my lift, before my new springs went in i drilled and tapped a 3/8" hold in the middle of the spring perch to prepare for the hockey puck mod.

like 8 bucks for the drill bit and tap, and hockey pucks can be found for about 1-2 bucks.

I dont think you will find a 5" bump stop for under 10 bucks... this way you can flex your jeep out, get the measurement of the amount of bumpstop you need, and buy pucks to suit.
