Default my bumpstops are missing?

thanks to daniel (SIC LSX) for eating grinder wheel dust and metal shavings with me.
ended up saving 5 pounds in just metal.
i threw the bumpstops away years ago, im sure they were another 2 pounds per side.
chit tore up some wheels. dust is everywhere.

Nice! I wish I would have thought of that when I was cutting them out to fit the new wheels and tires on my 95. Vette offset + uncentered rear = bash / cutting fest. The nice thing about what you did too is that there's so much extra room for the rear to travel now before it smashes into the frame.

What are you going to do about limiting suspension travel?

^ With proper shock settings you shouldn't have issues.

you can buy bumpstops to go on the top of the shock body to limit travel.
in my case, this is a weekend cruiser/track beater so im not worried about excess travel.
