Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey all, just hooked in the new shockies into the old girl andi dont have hoops for this reason (daily driver).. So i opted for longer ones but to give lots of down travel but not as much up travel. Now because the shock is topping out b4 it runs out of flex on uptravel, im guessing a mod on the bumpstop would be the best idea to stop damage to the new shocks

Here are some pics to refer too, what would be the best way to stop the shock topping out on uptravel, ie extend bumpstops ect. if so what do you think would be the most appropriate way of doing so. Thanks



topping out


full droop

come on guys... someone has to no something??

Just make up custom bump stops that are fixed on the chassis instead of the spring pack. Use 80 series fronts is a good start.

ok thanks, 80 series fronts. are they bolt on jobs or weld on?

I used the Hilux front bumpstops.......cut the pointy bit off, (so you have
about 20-30mm of rubber left).....and weld the plate to the chassis opposite
where your origional bumpstop is supposed to touch. Rubber on rubber, works
a treat.......

thank you soo much for that mud empire. got them already from the wreck out the back. as i said cant thank you enuf.

on mine i measured between the top of the spring and where the bump stop is supposed to hit the plate at the top, i measured my shock fully closed, worked out how much i needed to lift the bump stop to ensure that the bumpstop stops the shock just before it botoms out.

Easy

Cut a plate to fit under your u bolts, with a hold drilled in it to locate it, i used 5 mm plate for the bottom and 10 x 50 flat bar cut to the right length and used the factory bump stop welded on top..

Might not be the best way but cost me nothing and works well, looks good too.

okay thanks for that brad93, um went out the back to the rollover and got the factori ones off thaat and just gonna weld em in upside down, after i do what you said to get them perfect lenght.
