Low profile bump stops

[07XR808]

Okay so i picked up some Energy Suspension Low Pro bump stops for dirt cheap. Only problem is which hole do you put the one nut and bolt in?

 

[uh60rotorhead]

The one you have to drill???:dontknow:

 

[wshsbears]

the newest thing we havn't done yet, though r pondering is drilling out the rivets in the stock bump stop mount and removing that entire mount, then mount a bump stop directly on the frame giving another 2 inches of travel.. this will retain stock ride and suspension travel. :rock:

That is what we were just discussing.:biggrin: Have to take a look later when I lower my X and put rims.

the middle hole.

 

[MORT-RUNNER]

sorry! I cut the bump stops and it rides just like stock. Unless I hit a really bad bump.:thumpdown:

 

[Jonathan]

either way will do the job just fine :rock:

 

[morcheez]

yeah the middle hole like jonathan said :biggrin:

I have the Energy Suspension bump stops...and they are pretty easy to cut than the factory bump stops.:top:

You cut your ES bump stops?

 

[xtoplinex]

You cut your ES bump stops?

yup! even lower..about 1" I believe. :top:

Which bump stops should I pick up? 1" or the shorty flat ones? Gonna do my SOS kit pretty soon. But I got DJM blocks for the rear.

I bought the flattest bump stops I could find. The stock ones are under 2" tall. If you put in a 2" block, you're never gonna get all your suspension travel back, unless you notch the frame.

With 2" blocks and the stock bump stops, I measured about 3/4" (that's three-quarters of an inch) of suspension travel, so needless to say, I bottomed out on everything.

I bought Energy Suspension model 9.9132 which is 3/8" tall, the smallest they make. (In red, of course.. because red is faster.)

so how do you like the 3/8" ES bump stops?

 

[8ate8]

Well since it's only 3/8" tall and there's not much material to 'give', it hits a little hard when it does bottom out. But it's better than no bump stops, or leaving the stock ones in and bottoming out on everything

Yeah, well in Hawaii, it seems i bottom out a lot because the roads here are just ridiculous.

 

[project-c2]

Yeah, Hawaii roads suck. I guess I'll be paying Ron's a visit. LOL I guess better to hit urethane than to dent the axle housing... No lye, I've seen it happen.

 

[TXR-HI]

dude i cut my ES bump stops down to 1/2".. not round anymore. its all flat surface now..

 

[wshsbears]

dang almost a year later...

has anyone replaced their front bump stops? im thinkin about pullin mine out and finding a smaller replacemet, that'll yield another inch of travel which would make the C2C kit ride 100% like stock as far as suspension travel goes..

 

[vinnieb0i]

I was thinking about changing the front bump stops and seeing if the ES ones fit without mod. But im too lazy to try at the moment. Maybe I'll give it a shot when i change my oil.
