Default Rear Bump Stop Spacers

I have 3" RC lift and 31" tires and My rear tires hit the flares when I flex before I hit the rear bumpstops. It looks like I need 2" spacers for the bumps stops, I have(the long ones).

Who makes spacers for rear bump stops?

there are a lot of simply homemade ones that look good as well, the kind that go on top of the u-bolt plates just search around

Here is a simple design I came up with. This is to limit 32's under stock flares. It's a piece of 2x2x0.188" tubing ~4.5" Lg. welded to the spring retainer plate. Works like a champ.

if you just need a couple inches you can make spacers that go between the bumpstop and frame.



i just used 2.5" receiver hitch tubing and welded it to my frame stiffeners, but you can also drill a couple holes and bolt it in.

bumpstops are an important part of every well built suspension setup.

JKS bump stop plates and Energy suspension bump stops. I ordered square stock from McMaster Carr for the spacers but it wound up being too much so I removed them. I only run the stop and the plates now.
