I can't speak from personal experience but Strano has a set that is VERY affordable. I need some too and plan on going with his. My good buddy ordered the Jeep bumpstops from pro-thane and they didn't fit; Strano's are much cheaper anyway, lol.

There are many types of jeep bumpstops and a mod is required that takes literally 5 minutes to do if the correct ones are purchased. I have run them on my car for over 2 years now.

My buddy just told me about a mod involving drilling or something. What is it that has to be done?

No drilling. Just taking off the lip that hangs over.

Also, is there a difference in the bumpstop perches on SLP cars from any others? I know mine have the SLP spacer-plate that's removable but is there anything else different?

Just a note about the bumpstops... nobody sells or makes an f-body specific part aftermarket. I prefer the GM stops, but it seems they are no longer readily available. We had to do something, so currently we are also supplying a Jeep part, and that may require a little massaging to fit perfectly.

Just trying to be upfront.

My bumps stops fell apart a couple years ago. I have yet to replace them and I have not bottomed anything out. Yeah I probably should replace them, but if your not pulling any dukes of hazzard stuff you should be ok for a while.

easiest thing i have found is go to a junk yard and get a set from a 3rd gen f body. They were made with rubber back in the day, now its a foam/poly mix. I switch all my cars over to the older rubber style.

Thanks Sam. That's a great price nonetheless.

A few years back when I bought new ones I had to buy one at two separate dealerships. And at the time I think they were the only two in stock in Houston. I certainly wasn't going to got to poly for this part.

As long as these last 8-10 yrs it probably won't be an issue, heh. By then we will all have flying cars like the Jetson's

I just found them on buypontiacpartsforless.com and they are called bumper back in the rear suspension section. They go for $40 plus $10 for shipping. Id would post a link but it wont let me some how. Didnt give me a part number to. Sould be the same for camaro. Good price for new and no mod needed.

I bought the Prothane stops and integrated them into the original aluminum spacer used with the stockers. I think if you just cut off the "ear" on the car and flat mount the new ones they'll be too short. This might cause rear to come too close to subframe and smash something important? like brake lines, etc. Using the stock aluminum spacer, some flat stock, a drill press, and some JBWeld and I'm good to go.
