Just seeing if anyone has any ideas on some quick solution for extending the front bumpstops to keep my struts from topping out. Any help would be great. Oh, and Happy New Year to all!

My idea was to add about 1.5 inches of rubber to the top of the A-arm to prevent the strut from topping out. Different approach, same result. |

I did that with an old hose but my darn tire kept rubbing it so I was wanting to try something different. what exactly was your approach? |

I used heater hose, about 1" in diameter. Two 4" sections sandwiched around a 12" section, tightly compressed then heavy duty zip ties to attach them to the a-arm. Works great, cheap and easy. I wheeled with them on and didn't top out the struts. If I dig up the pics, I'll post them. |

I thought of screwing a chunk of rubber right to the bottom of the factory bumpstop. Countersink the screw a little. |
