    Has any of our fabricating members come up with some kind of bracket or top plate for a u-bolt flip kit to mount a bumpstop for our non-fabricating members? I did a bunch of searching but only came up with the All-Pro u-bolt flip kit to Tiberens that's being sold. I specifically have the Toytec u-bolt flip kit and Wheelers SuperBumps and trying to figure out how to marry the 2 together. Is there a SIMPLE BOLT-ON QUICK FIX other than All-Pro? If so, put me down for 2 please!!

    I plan on tackling this once my super bumps come in. Previously on the stock bumps, I flattened the bumpstop mounting plate and cut a U shaped notch into each side with a grinder, then unbolted two of the u bolt nuts diagonally from each other. Slid the bumpstop with the notch over the u bolt then retightened the nuts. Not sure if that will work with the super bumps yet.

    Invert the bump and mount it to the frame strike pad. I'll post some pics in a little bit.

    Someone on here just did this using a GM bump stop. Do a search, you should find it. Just saw it earlier this week.

    Mines been as pictured below for years. Wheelers bumps + AP flip. Drill a hole in the strike and pack it with two 1/8" thick fender washers to flatten out the bottom of the strike then bolt her up. I drilled as close to the frame as possible.

    You can also install them facing normal by tack welding the tower to the flip kit or drilling and tapping the flip kit for the tower. I didn't want to loose up travel by using the tower so I did it this way after seeing a MD member do his with Timbrens.

    Yeah I was thinking something along these lines where it was a straight bolt on bracket.
