I recently fitted a 2" Lift trailmaster kit, i now have a knocking sound from the front suspension, sounds like the springs are hitting the plastic stops that came with the kit, anyone else had experience of this. Do I need these stops.

On the inside the bottom of the coiled spring, where the spring is sitting on the wishbone.

They are trailmaster's version of extended bump stops -



The plastic discs just above the brake hose in the above photo... They bolt to the top of the spring seat cones on the front axle, at the bottom of the springs where the bump stop lands... OP has referred to it as the wishbone rather than the radius arm. although the spring is actually on the axle.

The two kits I've fitted have not had them included, they are a new addition, so I can't comment on whether they catch or not?

I have fitted them on three jimnys. They were all fine and I cannot see how they would catch anyway. I would look to see if the springs are seated correctly at both ends.

Could this problem occur if you swap the front/rear spring by mistake?
