Bump Stops

Cole · Nov 29, 2007

I have been wanting to put some bumps on the front of my jeep. The problem is I am not sure where I should mount them.
What do you guys think?

Here is a pic of the front,

looks to me like the front of that Oh so pretty BTF link tower is begging for a bump pad, then cans on the side of the frame in front of the coil over. that or cap the top of the link towers to the rear and put the cans to the rear of the coilover. You need to flex the living **** out of it and see how close the c/o gets to the frame to see if you can put the can in line with the shock, or have to forward or aft of it like I was saying. I like front or back because that's breathing room for a stressed link, out of adjustment or other that could make interference happen a lot sooner with a can right there.

yeah cap your upper links make them wear they bolt on so you can take a link off without having to roll your axle....oh yeah cut those outside limit straps off and put a center strap on there. just make a braket that bolts to the side of your center section and it will be bangin...when you are taking off you are losing a ton of weight transfer momentum when your jeeps stretches out ;

x3 top of the link mount looks like the place to be on yours

If I take my limit straps off the sides my body roll is gonna be even worse.
Does the winch tied to the axle not take the place of a center mounted limit strap?
