Title: Extended bumpstops 97 TJ
Post by: Sahara-Paul on February 25, 2013, 01:06:00 PM

Hi folks.
Sorry if this has been answered before. I've looked and not found.

I have some 2" spacers for my springs, however no front or rear bumpstop extensions. What's the cheapest place to get some from.

I also require some new rubber stops as my existing ones are shot.

Considering I need a 2" extension to the bump stop, would a skateboard wheel work? I've found one that's 50mm wide so near enough to 2".

I'm just wondering if anyone has done this? I know they have been used for body lifts in the past.
