Cut down bump-stops

[Apache]

Well, nothing as crude as hacksawn

I just spent an hour turning the lower front bumpstops down to about half their original length, with a little step in them to make them progressive

OK, I was looking for something to do with the lathe...

Just got to do the upper ones now, but I'll need to lift the truck on the wishbones so I can get em out!

And what, may I ask, is wrong with hacksawing the shyte out of them??????

Mine are so wonky it also doubles as a progressive stop, honest.........

Just practicing before I start making bodylift kits

[The Lovely Boyo]

Mmmm, method in the madness!

you going for ally or some kind of nylon/urathane plastic???

[Apache]

Nylon. Thats what most of the kits I've seen are made of.

I'd imagine it's a better material for that application than aluminium, as it has a modicum of pliability.

I can not cut my ones down , only one is left there . The rest have rotted off the plates .

No problems with front articulation then Rick?

I was toying with making some new ones actually, but I doubt its worth it.
