I need to get pics of my new stops up...so simple to make yet so effective. you can remove them in under a minute with one wrench.

its a 1x3x.25" angle that gets bolted up where the stock bump stops were. on that is a piece of 3/4" box tubing welded vertically to the long side of the angle pointing down. I put a structural grade bolt through the angle and this 3/4 tube and then welded it in place. Now take some 1" box tube and you notch out one side and drill a hole in the center so it just fits over the other tube and then use the bolt/nut to hold it on tight. its worked great for me for 2 season, and its super light weight and for those who get serious, every pound you can take off the rear and put up front counts.

I will get pics soon to clarify how they are done.

nice but if the stops hit the block wouldnt that kinda torque on the ubolts? dunno if id do that but im sure the chances of that piece of the block breaking r slim

the only thing i dont like is the non adjustable. if you run one class thats ok but we pull with 1" limit and a 3" limit so would have to have several sets. Like your ride and looking foward to ride north to see it pull blown 5.9
