bump stops?

Does anyone make taller/softer bump stops for factory lcas? I know wheelers makes some nice ones for second gens.... wonder if those would work?

 

Hmmm..I thought there were some for 1st gens..

Why do you need them??

 

I thought daystar make some for 1gens

 

check my build monte... and yeah i cant find any????

 

What do you expect to gain from that ?
Limit up travel ? for why ? (<-- edit for fubar)

why would you want to limit the front suspension's travel...
when it is already lacking in that

I'd lose those Top Load spacers instead.

Those are a poor choice for pre-loading the suspension
and fubar the upper/lower control arm geometry.

 

limit down travel? what r u smokin over there chief? lol.... bumps limit up travel so my tires don't try to eat my fenders....

and my top plate spacers dont preload the suspension at all, they are ON TOP of the shock mount, so all they do is give me extra lift.
and my alignment/geometry is perfect

 

appreciate the info^ its hard to explain, but its not an issue of trimming. they tuck just fine, but if rollin through some whoops and turned slightly my whole top of the tire is gonna take out the liner.... i was about a 1/4 inch from the liner.... but ok spacers is a good idea, ill come up with something. hard to explain, these tires tuck wayyyyy up there

 

I meant up travel
not thinking too clear as of late.
should stop before I make a bigger mess

yeah top load spacer don't pre-load the coil spring
^ ~was thinking while typing, that coil spring pre-load would be better
so I typed without reloading muh brain~

But top spacers will change the suspension's geometry.
Being on top of the coil effectively makes the CO longer then OEM.
This can change the plane that both UCA/LCA share.

Extended length CO's also share a longer length...
but is not the same deal...
droop length is extended... but overall compression remains oem.
Not the same thing as a CO with a spacer stacked on top.

doesn't mean you can't align it to specification

yeah that ^

 

its all good brotha, i figured u had to be reading it wrong... but what's ur point with the alignment staying while compressed? no suspension will stay the same as it cycles

 

yeah but u have glass fenders id have to remove the fender liners completely. then that allows all the shit the tire throws to be thrown into the fender. ill figure it out. i would of liked to have some soft bumps like the wheelers for second gens

 

for reference....

 

i understand they r just plastic man, but id rather not have rocks and snow get thrown into places it shouldn't be. I'm pretty sure the liner block my headlights, those r expensive! I'm keeping the liners.

 

i hear ya... just to each his own i guess.

 

I'm also running no liners.

And Jace the liners will just flex. They bend. I wouldn't limit your up travel just to save the inner liners. And if they do fall out.

Do this

Just go buy some thin like 1/16 or thinner sheet of abs or any plastic. Then make your own liner that only attaches to the inner part. Then it'll rest on the lip of the outer fender and if the tire hits. It'll just move up..then back down. Here is a reference.

heh...heh...heh... I didn't hear water on that one.
