2 Questions ... both about bumpstops

[RobHinton]

Howdy ... two questions for the experts.

1. Seems there is some concern w even the shorter bumpstops with the belltech. I found Polyurethane universal stops that are a tad less than 3/4". Any down side to giving these a try?

2. I cant remember if it was the front or back, but I remember reading you had to knock off the factory bumpstop to replace it. Is there a hole present already to replace it or how do you attach the replacement?


Sorry for the novice level questions ... trying to get a handle on all of this.

1. You could go polly uretahne, it would provide more travel, however will be much more abrupt when you hit them. The BT are a progressive bump stop, so they are meant to compress and slowly stiffen. The poly ones are basically rock hard. I personally would not make that switch. my 2 other slammed Sierras has those type, while great for very low trucks, there not comfy!

2. Front. You cut the factory stop off(metal and rubber insert). There is already a pre drilled hole in the mount, so you just bolt the new one on.
