Without spacer travel is more, with spacer travel is equal. That old junk will suck coming off. I used a small screw driver to get underneath the old stop. Then used a file to smooth out the mounting edges and then a wire wheel.
Appreciate the info. I have a bench grinder so it'll make quick work of it.
No problem, there is a way where you can cut the fender wheel well and directly attach the new stop. But then you have too much travel. This way it is as close to stock as you can get it with or without getting an OEM stop. I have a bench grinder but it's a cheapo version and doesn't have enough HP. So I put the spacer in a heavy duty vice and filed away and cleaned it up real nice.
With the new bolts; take some WD-40 or liquid wrench and spread it over the new M8 x 1.25 bolts. Then thread and tighten the new bolts about half way through the threads to where 1/2 is sticking out and 1/2 is all the way through. Then loosen the bolts and reattach them with the new stop and OEM spacer. This will help to clean up the threads on me. At first the threads were so rusted the new bolts well 3 of them went in fine, but the 4th wanted to start walking sideways on me. So I cleaned up the threads in the wheel well and it went in just fine.
these bump stops are used to replace the factory bump stops on a 1986 jeep cj7. www.4wheelparts.com has bump stops for $4.99 each!! They aren't the same brand but so what!! just ordered 2 for my 97 z28.
