I've never used them but I don't see how that would do what you need it to do...

I run these in the front on the top:

and these in the front on the bottom:

The rear... you have to get a bit more creative.

those coil inserts are awesome, they work great. you can even drill a few small to medium holes in them to get a progressive bump in them as well.

I had them. They eventually cracked and chunked apart.

some people have had good luck with them however.

You need to make a round plate bolt to the bumpstop tower so it has a flat place to strike against.

for the rear, i did this: U bolt bumpstop plates with 3.5" poly progressive bumpstops. available through amazon for like 35 bucks a pair.



works awesome

i like mine so far, you'll need a hard stop in addition to them... like UHMW rod inside the insert.

Ive had mine for about 8 months. I love them. No chunking so far. For the price they are killer.

curious how did you go about setting up a flat round plate for them to strike against?
pictures possibly.

when i picture it in my head i see the stock bump stop towers from the top, and the little rubber head that comes out from the top, not seeing much in the way of attach points.?

and on the rear bumpstops.
am i wrong or are your 3.5in progressives mounted to a 2"x2" tube welded to the frame. ( making 5.5 in bumps. )
looking around the other day i found some bumpstops that i could make,

get some new stock size bumpstops ( maybe a bit larger ). and then create a plate to weld to the axle tube, with a flat face on top. then you take a 2x2tube weld it the flat face you created on top of the axle, and sleeve it with a 1.5x1.5 tube that would have the bumpstop striking surface on it. have some holes in it at different spots to allow for a 1" 2" 3" or 4" bump and slide in the locking pin and cotter pin. do you think that might be better then the 2"x2" tube welded to the frame.?

ill try and find the pic i was looking at.

Pull the rubber out of the tower and weld a plate there.

Ah, I see how they work now. I thought they looked much smaller in the stock photo. I actually like those...

i prefer bolt. because you cant get a very large plate in there if you still want to remove your coils.

my xj doesnt run them anymore. but its just a flat piece where the rubber bumpstop used to be parrallel to the coil pad on the axle.
