Homemade Bump Stop Idea?

[derekmac]

So since I use hockey pucks for bump stop extension, I had to do a little experiment to see what they could handle. So out comes the 12 ton press and a 1-7/16" socket to represent the bump stop cups. I pumped until it became a lot of effort, and I'm pretty sure it was more than the pucks would ever see on the Jeep.

I used two just because that's what I'm using on the Jeep.

Now there is an impression in the puck, but there was a ton of pressure applied to it. The ones on my Jeep do not look like that, there's just a little spot where the jounce bumper contacts it.

Well done! No doubt now they will work reliably

I have just scuff marks on mine. They are tough!

Those ones I used were on my Jeep for a year also, which is why they look like they do, lol.

No bolt, just glue?

Those ones were just glued on, but the new ones I put on I bolted.

If you're using hockey pucks and tolerances are close before a fully compressed shock, hopefully you are accounting for the squishiness of the puck.

It’s hard to say in public.

Heres a pic of 1 of 4 poplar homemade 2" bump stops by @JMT .

The bump stops became an "emergency" when the bump stops i ordered were out of stock, and the lift HAD to be installed on that one day, so JMT came up with the 2" poplar wood bump stops.

I tapped the perch with a 5/16" threaded hole, used a 2.5" bolt and they installed as if they were made for it.... custom made in fact!

For me, just to be safe I need just 1/8th or 1/4th more bump for my fronts.
At work we have these paddles to dehair hogs, after they break we replace and I’ve used them for a few things on the Jeep

Old thread, but I’m trying to do something like this do you remember the bolt / thread size for the extended bumpers here?

I believe it was a 5/16 x 2 1/2" long
