Default Axle Bump stops / limiters?

I have Hotchis springs and my passenger side bump stop needs replaced. GM / Pontiac no longer offer the one for the WS6. Can anyone suggest where to get one? It is the Rubber block between the axle and the body. It is heavier than that on the Formula.

You don't want that one anyway. That rubber stop is too hard and abupt. The same goes for any potential poly replacement.

Yup. The dealer or other suitable online source. You want the Formula / Z28 / V6 version of the factory bumpstop.

Good luck finding the z28 version or formula version. Been on national backorder for a few months now. I think the bumpstops or joust stops off the wj jeep work will a little trimming.

If he cuts/grinds the bumpstop spacer flat (where the actual bumpstop mounts against the spacer)the Jeep bumpstops will bolt up with no other mods..

And yes, I agree that the factory Z28/Formula bumpstops would be the best option, but until they're available they're not a option.
E.S. part# 9.9137, about $25 a pair.

What if you don't want to run the SLP Spacer with the Wrangler bumpstop. What could you do?

I think mine came from Rock Auto, they were white
poly of some sort. Feels a lot better on the potholes
than the SS ones. "Jounce bumper" is the proper
name if you want to search the Interwebz for sources.

You'll need to either trim the bumpstop where the factory metal lip fits into the spacer notch/bump stop notch, or cut the lip off.
