Default bump stops

Looking for some bump stops to replace stock. Cannot find just stock bump stops. I have the RC leveling kit and don't think I need more but would like something heavier. Any suggestions?

What I'm asking is there a good after market replacement for stock that will hold up better.

Stock bump stops are good if you go with a taller lift then you will need longer bump stops.

Lift really has nothing to do with bump stops, tire size does.

Not really. You can over compress your springs if you don't increase your bumpstops.

Bumpstops are for more than keeping your tires out of your fenders.

Keeps shocks from becoming bump stops too.

Sumosprings makes bumps for the jk. Check those out. Sounds like what your looking for...I came across them on the metalcloak page and do run them on my jk. There progressive and compressed there about 3/4 of an inch longer, which keeps the metal from colliding. There definitely made of a better material than the factory bump foam.

I got that going right now, only if King would have slipped on a rubber doughnut, I wouldn't be buying these Sumosprings bump stops
