Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hi, Another question.. My rebuild is coming along ok given the poor weather of late but I noticed today that the front bumpstops were missing from the new chassis so decided to transfer the old ones from the rusty chassis and they came off in my hand. Question is my new chassis has a two inch suspension lift, do I need extended bumpstops fo as little as a 2" lift? Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Nope, my 110 is lifted about 2 inches from standard, I've stayed with standard bumpstops & not had any issues when offroad at wierd axle angles. even in this gloop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 The lift has nothing to do with the bumpstops, normally. It is the tyre size and clearance issues that control whether or not taller bumpstops are needed. What tyre size are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Bumpstops also stop you destroying shocks. You need to ensure your shock does not bottom out at full articulation - i.e. the axle hits the bumpstop before the shock reaches the end of its travel. I would leave an inch safety margin as in battle the bumpstop will compress a fair bit. Note I said articulation, not just full bump. Ideally, the spring should not be coil bound at this point too otherwise you will get very large forces transmitted into the spring seat which it will not enjoy.
