Get a true picture by taking the spring out on the corner with the ramp so its sits on the bump stop the extend the bump stops accordingly or take Mr angry to the offending to clearance.

Yes, was just looking at extended bump stops from www.zanfi.it but +65mm ones are 95 Euros plus shipping...

I used to sell 1.5" spacers for the original cones on the back... suppose I could stack a couple to give me 3" / 75mm...?

Until someone out there starts to supply them? ;)

Fronts are more difficult as they are bonded on? From what I can see...?

New springs are arriving today, fitting Sunday now, so I'll try it on the bumps then... Thanks! B)

Bump stops

They're available from Profender at around £95 each :-)

I'm sure the tyres will catch/rub on full 'bouncing' ... mine do "just occasionally" and I have SERIOUSLY cut everything back - you just cannot replicate what its going to when you driving at 10-15mph Off Road.

I though Rockwatt's process of removing a spring on each corner was a great idea :)

Jalapeño, IISY?

Looks like Rockwatt Eng will soon be selling bump stop spacers through the Bits4Vits store then ;)

And looking at the photos some more, and now I know silver Smoothrite paint is close to my ORA bumper's powdercoat colour, I could always take Mr. Angry to them, and trim them a bit...

Springs arrived at 3pm when the Parcel Force driver came to empty our Post Office... Shame the regular driver is off for the week, as he'd have dropped them off in the morning... so I'll be fitting them on Sunday now...

And... having a beer, or three, I've been "Sober for October", 28 days off the grog! Here's my sponsorship page, just in case! ;)

£201 raised so far, plus whats in the collecting boxes in our shop and post office, I'm trying to reach my goal of £250, if anyone can spare a pound or two? B) All in a good cause! MacMillan Cancer Care :)
