Default Source for extended bump stops

I have a 2001 XJ. I just put on a 3" lift and I have 33x12.50 tires.

I'm fine on the front, I'll be using hockey pucks and some serious fender trimming. I've done the cut and fold on the rear and I need to appropriately bump stop the rear axle. The stock ones are rotted and gone.

I've searched here and seen what others have done by fabricating 1x1 inch tubing or using hitch receivers.

I'm not a fabricator at all. I can't seem to find anything online larger than stock for the rear. I need either a block to go under stock stops, a larger stop, or some kind of metal extension that goes on the rear axle.

Does anyone make anything like this off the shelf?


Here's where I am now on the rear with a trimmed fender:

Here's the link to the photo, I can't seem to figure out how to embed this. I'm sure someone here knows how. Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much. That DPG kit is pretty much what I had in mind and should work perfectly. I also got the picture thing working, at least on my end.

Glad to see a low cog rig..seems like most of the new members are all concerned with how big of a lift they can get.

How many pucks you got up front?

None right now...I have 4 pucks total sitting in my garage. I want to finish trimming fenders first. I have finished one rear fender. Three to go.

My state doesn't require fender flares, which makes this a little easier.

Don't have any input for rear bumpstops, was going to suggest pucks but you're way ahead of me. So... al I have left is to say your rig looks awesome. Love the bumper and tire size with that lift.

I've got poly bumps front and rear, overkill for my tire size, as i hope to be going to 35's soon.
Currently on 32's.

T and J performance makes these. A little more expensive than hockey pucks but work just as well.

I'm running these from Quadratec just because they were cheap. I found my OEM stops had rotted away and at some point the sway bar had smacked the top of the fender well and put a nice dent in it along with letting the sidewall of the 235s I was running at the time rub the body. http://www.quadratec.com/products/52422_01.htm

For any of you guys with trimmed fenders...

I've done the cut-and-fold on the rear fenders and I still need to do the front. Did you do cut and fold on the front or did you physically remove that material from the fender?
