No, but I'm hoping for the day it actually happens I guess when you drive the car 50 miles a year parts don't wear out

I think we need to have another race behind the Caravan like the old days The Sultan of shift might have to school you on the streets of T-town I think Silverram is feeling neglected and needs to snack on a red camaro.

You would have your hands full at this point. If I'm in T-town this summer I will have to take you up on a friendly grudge match

Sorry for bringing this topic back up...New to it.

Will the Jeep bump stops just bolt right on, and do you NEED the spacers if the car didn't come with it?

Also, how much to you trim the bump stop if it needs to be trimmed at all?

They will work if u have the spacers you will need to cut the lip of the if you do not you will have to cut the lip off the bump stop mount there is pictures in this thread that show how to do it

This x1000.

No issues with mine. Don't think I've ever hit them. They sure do make my car look pretty though. I think I used a cut off wheel then grinded it down nice and smooth (that nub on the bracket)

When your shocks are on the way out, that's when they touch, or if you're hauling too many bricks. LOL

Just another thought here. I went to the junkyard and pulled 2 off an old 3rd gen. They don't need the lips cut and for some reason the 3rd gen stops are a solid hard rubber and don't fall apart. Cost me 2 bucks at the scrap yard lol

You should be running them on both sides, or not at all.
IMO, I'd just remove the spacer on the drivers side.

Remove the spacers w/stock bump stops & gain some extra suspension travel, I did this on my SS.

Did this install today. It took me more time to jack the car up and take the wheels off than it did to install the bump stops. Thirteen MM Socket and a sawz-all is what I used to get the job done. Way to easy of a install.
