Bump stop extender
Has any one extended or installed a larger front bump stop after lifting their H3.

Re: Bump stop extender
I would like to take a look at seeing what is required to do this mod, but have not had time. After cranking up TBs off the stops, I get more body roll and would like to extend the stops back to where they touch again, to reduce the roll

Re: Bump stop extender
As far as I know at this point, they are progressive and prevent the shock from bottoming out.
The do make 2-4 inch versions, the pic I posted is a longer version. If you click on the link you will see the shorter one.

Thanks.

Re: Bump stop extender
Heavy Duty Torsion bars will help with body roll and nose dive too.

Re: Bump stop extender
How about these for bump stops.
You can get them here, http://www.lightracing.com/lightracing25870.html
I think that these are probably geared more towards racing and high speed jumps as opposed to rock crawling.

Re: Bump stop extender
I think this could be a proper and relatively inexpensive solution:
http://www.timbren.com/images/intern...onvolution.gif
There is even a kit for the hummer H3.
http://www.stengelbros.com/TimbrenKitsforHummer.htm#SUV
But that is for a non lifted H3. For a lifted H3 you must choose the right height the right load rating and have a bolt ready. The stop is progressive and available in all kind of sizes and loads.

Re: Bump stop extender
Timbrens are not bump stops, but are load-assist type

Re: Bump stop extender
The H3 bumpstop is not an old style bumpstop. It is not a classical "hard" bump stop. It compresses progresively . The timbren has the same behaviour. It should help to remove the nosedive and some rolling from a lifted H3. It is in any case much better than having that gap of one inch down there. The timbren H3 kit installs at the same location as the H3 bumpstop. Just my 2c

Re: Bump stop extender
knowing that, I think they will work just fine if we can get custom sizes for H3s with cranked TBs

Re: Bump stop extender
Problem is, everyone has them cranked differently. We should have them made for max in front, (24.25" from center of hub to base of fender) rear, well not sure.
