Rear Bump Stops Guys/Gals,
I am upgrading real soon to TTM Wheels with 17x10.5 in the rear wrapped in 315 35R 17's. Today I removed the old wheels to paint the calipers and noticed my rear bump stops are completely rotted off, so I just unbolted them. I am currently running the Eibach Pro kit and was wondering do I need to replace these are should I just leave em' out cause will they cause rubbing issues with the new tires? If I stick with em' is this something I can pickup at my local AZ or O'Reilley's? Any help is much appreciated.

You shouldn't have any problems with the tires rubbing them. I also have the pro kit on my LT1 with 315s and mine don't rub them. I took the ones off my 02 CETA and threw them on the 94. I had to roll the fender lips and "massage" the inner fender a little

I have 17x11 w/ 315... and the bump stops do not rub just driving around.... but if I put my car on a lift or jack it up by the body, then the wheels get caught on the bumpstops.
