Rear bump stop lowering - 4/2008

The 33x10.50 BFG ATs liked to rub with the 4" Triangle lift.



Lower bump stops were needed before a few different mild wheeling trips coming up.



First, weld a spacer into place.







Then new bump stops.



John Comer told me about this trick years ago - it was used with success on Terry Keuhl's Lil'Foot racer.



Ford Escort, Right front engine mount. Part #2558.







Cost is $20-$25.



Cut the little ears off, then cut in half.







You now have two trapezoid shaped bump stops, steel and rubber, with a 1/2" threaded stud attached.



Perfect for sliding into the stock front bump stop brackets, or in this case, for affixing to my new lowered bump stops in the rear.



They hold up well, too.
