Bump Stops
So can anyone tell me what they have done for Bumps Stops on the their Wags/Cherokee's and J10's after putting in a Skyjacker 4" lift?

Bump Stops
Front: https://timbren.com/i-30497566-active-o ... r-kit.html ABSTORSEQ
Back: https://timbren.com/i-30497563-active- ... t-kit.html ABSTOFLC1A
ABSTORSEQ = uses 5/16" bolt; 3-11/16" to 5-1/16" center to center
ABSTOFLC1A = uses 5/16" bolt; 3-11/16" to 5-1/16" center to center
Both are 5 11/16” tall.
Personally, I used the front one for both. Front one bolted up perfectly. Back one needed to be offset to clear the u-bolts so you may want to try the one I recommended above. It has an offset in the bracket already.
These definitely aren’t cheap but were tall enough for the 4” lift.
Got mine from Summit on sale.

Re: Bump Stops
Wow - expensive.
I would use the factory bump stops, or their urethane replacements.
If you use longer shocks than stock, you should space those down from the frame so the bump stop stops the axle and not the shock. Compare the collapsed length of your factory shocks and replacements, and move the bump stop down by the difference. I thought you don't need anything fancy - just a piece of rectangular steel tube stock the thickness of that difference.

Re: Bump Stops
Thanks Guy's, both ways have went threw my head and the purchased ones would look great, making the tube steel one's, no one would ever notice the difference if they where powder coated. I think I'm gonna go with the Timbren stops on this build just because almost every nut and bolt is being replaced on this frame off 78 WT Chief.

Re: Bump Stops
Do these bolt right on? I'm wondering if they may be a little short of whats needed, i'm overseas right now so I can't do any measuring but as another said maybe I'd best measure the old and new shocks compressed and go off the difference.....rocklaurence wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 2:23 pm Ive used XJ rear bump stops.

Re: Bump Stops
No, theyre not a direct bolt-on. I use 1.5x1.5" square tube to adapt the bolt pattern between the two. Also, the added height of the adapter should be just right for a 4-5" lift. The Stops should prevent the socks from bottoming out and prevent the springs from over-compressing to Flat. To push an Arched spring to Zero or negative will fatigue and collapse the spring.
