Default Bump Stops

My lift didn't include bump stops, where can I find some for a 2" lift, I rub pretty bad when disco'd with the 33x12.5's. I've tried Northridge, and Quadratec only has ones that are 80 bucks for the front alone. Any suggestions. Has anyone tried these

Would they help?

Thanks

Call Full Traction directly @800-255-6464 and order their aluminum bumpstops. The universal ones will not work. I ordered mine from FT for about $60. Simple bolt on installation.

Why would a 33" rub disco'd...when the disco'd tire is drooped more?

The bumpstop help rob you of uptravel on stuffage, not on droop...?

What's happening?

Is the 33" a 12.5" wide tire, so on stuffage the inboard side of the tread is hitting the frame if the other side is drooped?

JKS also makes adjustable bumpstops for fine tuning the front and rear of the JK:

as well as adjustable coils spacers if you like that idea for fine tuned lift clearance.

The outboard side is hitting the fender.







The adjustable bump stops look nice but a little pricey.

I have no idea how ppl wheel 35's with 2.5" of lift. The bump stops must be massive.

So I ended up calling Daystar to see what they use for their JK lifts, cause I had read somewhere they they use extended bump stops that can be trimmed, the part number he gave me is the same one they use for certain year XJ's, ZJ's and TJ's

I ordered them anyway, they were only $27 bucks from Quadratec, which I already have a fair size order with but am waiting on the Purejeep shackles before it ships. Hopefully they work.
