| Post subject: | SPOA Bump Stop Setups. |
Hey guys just a quick question, I'm up to organising my bump stops for a spoa, lux diff setup. I want to see pics of other peoples basic bump stop setups, no fan dangled hydraulic shit. The problem I have, is I've done a U bolt flip front and rear, and the only bump stop setups I can think up in my head would look horrible, as the plate sits on top of the springs now. So if you have some pics of u bolt flip, bump stop setups, I'd appreciate it, as this is the last of my suspension mods before moving onto to easier work with the chassis. Thanks, Simon. |

In this pic we chopped of the bump stop off to get better idea of how far the wheel could go up into the arch..... anyway the point is, it's a piece of RHS (rectangle hollow section) welded to the top of U-Bolt plate. 
and this one just to show you the car

Thanks very much 31zook, thats the ideas im after. I want to make it look "semi factory" as it still has to go through the engineer! Thanks again, Simon. |

cut off the front mounts all together and make a new lower set, it will look stocker then spacers.... |

True that, it's looking that way as I've utilised a set of factory shock towers from a rodeo, just put picks up to photobucket, shall upload now. |

rpmwrx, how do they mount, a whole bored into the plate and just squashed between the plate and spring pack? Do you know what they are from? Thanks Simon. |

Do you know what they are from? Thanks Simon. You'll have to ask Joeblow... he built my zook years ago and i'm not sure of the finer details... |

Alien, how does the centre of that bump stop work? I was thinking a bolt welded to the chassis, then a bump stop, then a nut to hold it up, but obviously that would bend the bolt? Thanks, Simon. |

All bumpstops usually have a stud formed into the back of the stopper. Like Vits or Jimny rears. All you need then is a plate, or something the size of the stop, or larger, with a tapped hole in it so you can screw it in. Then for the plate to bump on, it has to be pretty solid. Get the bumps you want, then work out how to mount them. All different bumps have all different mountings and styles. If the diffs are in the original wheelbase, you can use the old sierra chassis bumps tops as the stops, and mount the bumps into the ubolt plate somehow. Once you cut those u-bolts you will get a better idea on what room you have to work with. But dont cut them too short, your going to need another leaf in that front pack at least.. |

mines off a GV i think? (cant remember) - basically its a poly block with a hole right through the middle, steel sleeve inside and a threaded plate on the chassis - then an allen key bolt goes down the centre of the bump stop and screws into the chassis. |

Pretty sure 80 series bumpstops are slightly progrsseive and big and rubbery. As are one's off toyota ke70/ae71/ae86 rear. easily cut downable with a hacksaw. And I can't help with lengths so no real tech sorry |

found these pics/info doing a random bumpstop search. http://auszookers.com/index.php?name=Fo ... light=bump Damo wrote: Saam wrote: my bump stops pretty much don't do anything they are so far away from the diff. anyways i just want to make sure i am protecting my shocks if i do any stupid jumps, which sometimes i do, does anyone know of any generic longer bumpstops designed for hard impacts, i am doing front and rear. also how much longer than the point at which the shocks would bottom out would they need to be to protect the shocks. i just put my new shocks in and won't be going off road until this is sorted. off the top of my head i think the fronts need to be around 100mm or taller I got some decent size ones from the wreckers, they were off a Jackaroo I think. Might be a bit big (footprint wise) to fit on the front though maybe? Dunno, they might even be spot on.   http://auszookers.com/index.php?name=Fo ... light=bump Saam wrote: did my rears today, front will not be as easy, these are from a 100 series land cruiser, they are exactly 150mm tall and are nice and squishy so should be perfect..
