Bumpstops - how much for given lift??

[joser]

What are you guys running for bumpstops? What lift, and tire size?

I am running 3.5" suspension, and 2" body lift. I just got 36 X 13.5 IROKs. I am thinking about 3-4" bumpstops to limit the up travel in the suspension.

What are you running?

That sounds about right...Only true way to tell is to flex it out and measure. I would just buy the biggest ones that Wildhorses sells (or buy local) and trim if needed...

When I was talking to fellas out at CAGE about my 3.5 inch lift they recommended using 4 inch stops. That was the second time that I was told that, so thats what I will be trying/using.

I run the WH 4" front and rear. Perfect size and they do a great job at stopping the bump.

3½" lift with assorted parts. No body lift, none planned. 33" tires

Front has (had?) 4" bumpstops to try and keep the diff out of the oil pan a little. Put a track bar riser on the passenger side so I cut off all the material except the base 3/4" or so. About even with the uncut drivers side.

Rear, stock About an inch of steel welded to the axle tube by a prior owner actually makes it work out right.

Thanks for the feedback. I am going to go with some 4" bumps. Then if I need to, I can trim them down.

On a side note if you put a track bar riser on and run a 351W with the dual sump pan you will need taller bumpstops to keep the track bar out of the pan.

umm, oops???

i've had my track bar riser smack my frame a few times, so i'm looking at having to modify a set of energy suspension bushings so they'll fit. i'd also like to cut the top of my riser off.

Well my track bar riser should hit the frame but the cage arms keep that from happening. They bottom against the frame and actually stop the track bar right at the point of contact to the pan;D
