putting on 4.5 inch rough country lift with 32x11.50x15 tires today. Found out stock front bump stops inside coil springs are no longer there. Can i just leave them out? Dont really want to have to wait to order them in.

 

You can leave them out if you like ripping flares off. Bumpstops are essential to your suspension. Especially if you go off road. Quit being cheap.

 

Sure, as long as you avoid stuffing the tire up there. You wont tear your fender off. You could stick 3-5 hockey pucks inside the springs to act as stops.. But you will need to address the stops BEFORE you start flexing that rig.

 

thanks for replies, thats what i needed to know. was not trying to be cheap. I wouldnt have spent money on new lift kit, new wheels and tires if i were cheap. Looking to try to get this job done today if you would have taken the time to read my post you would have known that.

 

Thanks for your reply 93gc40.

 

Rough country = cheap.

 

Dude, stop being an *******.

 

Sorry, forgot I wasn't on pirate. But seriously, bump stops are important. Rough country lifts are junk. That's all I'm gonna say.

 

Bumpstops arent only for flexing. They also prevent you from using the shocks as bumpstops. Get em fixed asap. On or offroad

 

bingo

 

can they be put in after i install lift, without removing coil springs?

 

I was able to jam them through the coils on my 91 with OME coils.

 

Not unless you are a magician.

 

ive always loved magic but never had any luck doing it!!! lol

 

You might be able to flex the coil open enough to stuff them in using a prybar then use the prybar to set them home in the cup, but I would anticipate having to droop the axle and slip them in with the coil removed.
