Bump stops

[mwkojack]

I have an 83 hj47 that I did 4 plus’s u bolt flip kit on. I am trying to get ideas or a product that will allow me to have rubber bump stops. Anyone have any ideas?

The previous rubber stop was between and held in place by the two u bolts running over the top of the axle. I was thinking of putting a bump stop attached to the top u bolt plate.

This thread may help you. Looks like behind that arrow plate you may have bolts for a bump stop like the US 40's.

Bump Stop Clearance

Issue: I only have about 1/2” clearance between my bump stop and the top of the 4plus U bolt flip kit on the front axle. This seems way too tight. What is normal? Are my bump stops too long? Are these springs flat? They are OME mediums. It sits level with the rear. The springs are 4 years old...

Although this is a good thread it doesn’t really apply to my vehicle. Which has basically the same rear end as a fj45.

Just buy some poly bump stop to swap the steel extension on the frame

I was thinking along this line, but was thinking about adding it to the top of the u bolt plate.

Try these. 2"x2"x1" thick rubber squares meant to dampen vibration for washing machines. Got these in a 4 pack at Lowes for around $20 a while back. Use some tough double stick tape to adhere onto the top of the U bolt flip plate for a cheap, easy bump stop.
