92comanche4x4 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I know this sounds stupid but what does a bumpstop do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjbliley Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 When the suspension cycles up it stops the movement of the axle before the tire contacts the fender area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 When the suspension cycles up it stops the movement of the axle before the tire contacts the fender area. And before the shock absorber piston bottoms out and the shock self-destructs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 When the suspension cycles up it stops the movement of the axle before the tire contacts the fender area. And before the shock absorber piston bottoms out and the shock self-destructs. Â It also cushions the impact as the suspension bottoms out. Air bumpstops are the way to go, if you want to go all out. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Remember the hockey pucks on that axle? Those were cheapie bumpstop "extensions". Extensions is a bad word to use though, as the bumpstop is the thing above them inside the coil. The pucks bring up the platform on which the bumpstop contacts. You may end up needing a couple if you're intent on running 33s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
