suspension bump stops hitting
« on: February 08, 2006, 11:10:55 AM »
I am in the process of installing a Rough Country 4" suspension lift in my TJ. After I installed the spring on the passenger side front it looks like the bump stop is going to hit the new spring. The bump stop is not even near being in the center of the spring. I am not done tightening the nuts and bolts yet as i have a concern about the bump stop hitting the spring. Any suggestions would greatly be helpful to me. Thanks HOZER

Um, that's probably because you haven't finished doing the other side so the axle is tilted.  Finish the job then it should be fine.

Also sometimes when you get a bit of lift on a tj with long bumpstops the tilt of the axle will make the two parts rub so some people install hockey pucks or something similar onto the bottom spring perch.
