Ok so I've been trying to figure out how to get my bumpstops to the length that I need. I'm got to extend about 4 1/2" so that I stop tearing out my wheel well liner.

I found some from Rusty's that on the phone they said that they are 2.5" longer then stock but does anyone know of any others out there that are longer? I really don't want to use hockey pucks. Thanks guys.

What size lift and tires you running? I have 4.5in and bought the ones from 4wd,com and flexed it,then cut to the height I needed. They were like $27.

Why not use hockey pucks?

Just curious for the cost and easy of installation you cannot go wrong.

Check this page. I got mine from 4wd.com but I can't send the link for them. It only sends the home page. I did the long ones in mine at 4.5 inches. You're probably going to need 1 or 2 pucks added as well to save the fenders though. http://rockymountainsusp.com/bumpstops.htm

4.5 w/33's

One, I can't find them where I live and Two, that is a big stack to get 4-4.5 inches

yeah I saw those, the problem is that most of the extended bump stops don't say how long they are.


Here is the jeep flexed so there is about a 1/2 to an Inch from rubbing.

It's been a while since I bought mine and what's funny is, everywhere I shopped around for them doesn't have a listing for them anymore. I had to start deleting favorites in my browser.

Anyway, IIRC the whole bump stop itself is about 5 1/2 inches long included the part that sits in the tower. You get about 4-4.5 inches of actual stop there. I have 4 1/2 inches of lift as well running on 32's and I still need pucks to keep them from stuffing inside the wells. Luckily I run a 15X7 instead of the 15X8 wheel with 4 B.S. and the tires never hit at all. I don't even have to trim my fenders. I did trim the bumper ends oh so slightly.

As far as how to figure out your flex, this is a pretty good thread.....http://www.cherokeetalk.com/forum/f8/bump-stops-10442/

These should get it done for you. I run them with 31's on 3" of lift and they keep me out of the fenderwell.

I have yet to do this as for now my oil pan is doing a real good job at it. But from what I have herd if you go down from the tower your coil will hang up on it. Have yet to put it to work but my plan is a removable steel spacer for the coil bucket with a puck on top. Like I said have yet to do it but sounds like the best bet. My oil pan is looking a little funny.

Do you mean like this?? I had stock upper arms when this happened.



Upper adjustables will help though. I don't hit the springs anymore.

Those look good. I'm going to have to order them and see what that will do for me.

Lyon

He had better luck finding the link than I did but those are the ones I posted in the picture above. I believe they are the longest available that you can buy but you'll still need pucks I think.

Yeah I can deal with one or to puck or maybe I'll do this, it says they are for wronglers but I figure the perches are the same http://www.4wd.com/Jeep-Lift-Kits-Je...NGLER+(97-06TJ)

You could basically do the same concept with the hockey pucks. You'll still need the extended stops with these anyway. I haven't seen anyone run these like this in the XJ so it would be cool to see.
