Bump stop suggestions

30th6 · Dec 4, 2014

I want some suggestions on how to set up my bumps on my buggy,I can't think of anything that looks halfway decent.
Pics of your current setup would be much appreciated

Here's the bumps I'd like to use

Poly performance sells some that go on your coil over shaft. Not really ideal but I know someone that has been running them for yrs without issues.

Plain and simple. Same bumpstop as in your pic. Off the shelf air bump can welded onto the chassis. 2' tube with the bottom capped with plate. Drill hole and mount bump. Adjustable too.

It has some that came on the shaft but I was wanting to try and put some more on there to help,rustyc your truss come out further than my mount, I would still have to run a long peice of tubing in the clamp.iv got about 17" between the frame and axel at ride height.
Anyone have any ideal on the rear?

You're just gonna have to be creative man. You have alot of distance to cover. Sometimes the best way is to build over kill bracing and mounts. To make it look like its part of the cage. Same tubing and lines to match.

Also whatever you go with be sure to check clearance at full bump and full droop to make sure your bumps don't contact the shock in any way.

Get tye ride height where you want it first so you wont be redoing the bumpstop mounts. Thats why i never added bump stops to it. My plan was to lower it 4"s and add air bumps. On the front i was going to swap the front truss out for a artec full truss so i could mount the bump cans on inside of frame and bumps would hit the top of truss.

Are you trying to add bumps to keep the shocks from bottoming out or to limit the compression travel?

Highrol I was thinking about dropping it down 4-6".

No matter what you do with the ride height, full bump will be the same. Take the springs off, let it down on all 4 corners then I bet you will have a better vision of what needs to be done. I bet you see that there isn't nearly as much distance to cover as you think.
