Ive noticed my cars rear end has been bottoming out on the shitty california freeways. So go underneath and realized my agx shocks were set at 1 (softest settings) Then noticed my jeep bumpstops are bent due to bottoming out. So I reset the shocks back to 6. But how can I fix or rebend the jeep bumpstops? Can I make them stronger? The center part is whats bent in a bit.

Is your car lowered? Where are they bent, at the base? I ran my car for years without bumpstops...they were actually cut out to clear more room for my slicks. I kept my QA1s very stiff (~7 to 9 on the street) to compensate. Before you make any changes to the bumpstops, I would identify if your shocks are OK too. If your car isn't lowered it shouldn't hit the bumpstops like that. If it is lowered on AGX shocks, they could be damaged from the lowering springs.
