Hey Brian do you know how thick your spring pack is?

Not off hand, Im flying home tomorrow. I'll measure it for you. You can have my bump stops if you want to meet me somewhere in the next week and a half. I'll be busy through the weekend but maybe could meet during the week somewhere.

FYI I have both superbumps and the allpro shorter timbren bump stops. I plan to compare them against each other with the new shocks and I'll only keep one, since I have a taller timbren for carrying the camper. So eventually I'll have one of the other to get sell I guess. You could drill a hole in the bump stop plate (on the frame) and mount a timbren or superbump or something upside down if you really wanted. As long as you don't have the U bolts flipped I don't see why that wouldn't work.

Just something to think about anyway. The factory bump stops are pretty harsh when you bottom them out hard, but maybe not much of an issue once you have dakars and a better rear shock. After I installed my stuff up front, I did a little "testing" with the stock rear setup. Not good. Haha

Cool thanks I might hit you up for that. Yeah I have flipped ubolts already. If the pack is 2" or thinner I think I can reuse them although I've heard to never reuse ubolts.
