Default DIY: Rear tire bump stops for spare tire

Hey guys sorry this kinda isn't a DIY/Write up because it was so easy.
But thought it may help someone out there who has a 33+ tire on there tail gate with negative offset wheels.

I read that the bump stops that they sell are foam and are POS. I didn't want to go the tennis ball route since it kinda looked ghetto.

I recently upgraded to 33's and was more than a inch off the factory bump stops.

So I picked up 2 of these couplings in the plumbing section at homedepot for $6.50 each and i slapped it over the factory bump stops they fit perfectly snug. They are hard rubber.

didn't need to buy anything else or cut anything. it even came with the screw clamps. But i removed the end ones as its not needed. only need one on each.

5 min job!!!!!!!
