No it doesn’t sound right (at least for any normal tire size on any TJ axle) , but you need to pull springs and cycle. How are you testing this bump stop change? What lift and tire size are you on? If you’re following the @garagecouple methodology of tossing 38s on a stock rubicon you’re doing it wrong.Does 5 1/4” bump stop extension sound right for rear extension? I jacked it up until the shock bottomed out and there’s a 4 3/4” gap between bottom of cup and landing.. thats seems like a lot. Help?
Well I guess I’m question was is 5 inches of bump stop a lot? I’ve been seeing them online and it showed 2-4 inches commonly. 5 just seems like a lot. But if 5 inches doesn’t seem like somethings wrong. That’s what I’m seeing is what I’m needing soHow can anybody here tell you the right amount of bump stop unless you tell us how much lift you have, how big your tires are, and post photos.
There is no one size fits all for bump stop. It’s going to vary from vehicle to vehicle, regardless of what Lyft and what size tires are installed. Posting photos however would at least help us guide you in the right direction.
Yes, especially with 33s. What is determining your bump distance, are the shocks bottoming out?is 5 inches of bump stop a lot
Yeah shocks bottom out with that much spacing… it just seems like a lot.Yes, especially with 33s. What is determining your bump distance, are the shocks bottoming out?
It sounds like you may have the wrong shocks, what are you running right now?Yeah shocks bottom out with that much spacing… it just seems like a lot.
I did pull springs and cycled and shocks bottom out with about 5 inches of a gap..No it doesn’t sound right (at least for any normal tire size on any TJ axle) , but you need to pull springs and cycle.

I’ve got bilsteins.It sounds like you may have the wrong shocks, what are you running right now?
So that’s where I just don’t know because 5 inches sounds like a lot, but with compressed shocks. I have a 5 inch gap. So I guess I just need to get 5 inches of extension…If the bump stop extension matches the compressed shock then it is the appropriate amount. If the shock travel is roughly 50/50 at ride height then the shock is the right size.
Start with answering the shock travel question.So that’s where I just don’t know because 5 inches sounds like a lot, but with compressed shocks. I have a 5 inch gap. So I guess I just need to get 5 inches of extension…
ride heights at about 20 1/2”, shock max extensions 24.63, minimum is 14.98. So right about the middle.Start with answering the shock travel question.
Now extend the bumps so that the jounces slow the speed of the shock as it reaches full compression. The number is what it is. The best way to figure this out is to remove the springs and fully cycle the axle. Raise the axle all the way up until the shocks are fully compressed. Add as much extension as is needed to make the steel cup touch the axle pad.ride heights at about 20 1/2”, shock max extensions 24.63, minimum is 14.98. So right about the middle.
Okay, I got a picture of my rear for yaNow extend the bumps so that the jounces slow the speed of the shock as it reaches full compression. The number is what it is.

That is stock. Extend the cup and add something to the axle pad to get where it needs to be.Okay, I got a picture of my rear for yaView attachment 272282shouldn’t my jounce bumper cup be extended? Or is this stock?
