rear bump stop ???
« on: May 12, 2005, 08:39:01 AM »
I need some info, pix, whatever on different rear bump stop options. With my new larger tires, I need a rear bump stop to keep them out of the fenders, and with my goofy leaf set up, I can't mount them in the stock location.
Does anyone have any pix of them mounted to say the u-bold plates or something like this? ANY ideas would be great, thanks in advance

Ditch the bumpers, redrill the springs and move the axles further apart. My 410 has them mounted on the axle tube above the spring perch, I'm guessing you're SPOA? I don't see any reason why you can't mount them on the U bolt plates

don't really wanna trim the fenders any more...not that theres a lot of metal left there anyway....lol
It's looking like the u-bolt plats are going to be the ticket.

On my Scout I used rubber bump stops off from and old snowmobile ski.  They looked identical to the original stock ones they are about 2 inches long with a bolt adhered to one end.  Just look on some old sleds with leaf springs on them.

Actually, I wanna keep the tires out of the fenders, but also, a bumpstop will force the opposite goofy leaf to open more thus giving me a little more flex in the rear ;D

Just an idea.  Right in front of your goofy leaves, there is a flat plate.  You could put a bump stop there.  That is how Jeep YJ's are.  The bump stop is more towards the front of the spring, not in the center.

I put the bumpstops on top of pedestals on top of our u-bolt plates for the longest time.  Seemed to work great for us.
