Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Does anyone know who supplies bump stop spacers for the rear of a GV? I've noticed I get a lot of tyre rubbage on the outside shoulder when fully compressed. I think it must be rubbing on the plastic guard as the tyre hasn't been cut up by it. I have a OME lift and 225/75R16 tyres.

Cheers,
Ben

have you tried the search function?

Custom ones are easy enough to make up... mine are polyurethane:

It's a little bit harder for a GV Alien - they are inside the rear coils.

Steve.

oh - i thought you just dropped the coil out and bolted a longer one in???

I think there's a captive nut on the chassis, and the stock bump is conical, so a spacer would require some fabrication/machining.

IIRC, the spacers I've seen on vitaras have been welded in.

Steve.

if u want cheap and conical go for some 80 series ones or patrol ones. they usually chuck them out

Not sure about the diameter - I agree that 80 series "in coil" rear bumpstops are excellent, but they might be a touch to big to fit inside a vitara rear coil without binding.

It's an idea though.

Gwagen front bumpstops are probably ideal..... not the easiest to come across though

Gwagon ones eh, mind if I borrow yours

They're actually almost identical to the old school "aeon" assist rubber springs, which I think are still available.

Ben, depends how big a spacer you need. ARB list one for the front of the XL-7 that we have fitted to the front and rear of Vits.
