Why raise it an then limit your travel?

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.

They look good. But not cheap. They seem like a good compromise to reduce nose diving and rolling (the sway bar could also be beefed up to fix the rolling), while maintaining upwards travel.

Thanks.

Heavy Duty Torsion bars will help with body roll and nose dive too.

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.

Anyone else here thinking Bebe needs to add these? Let's see, cranked up the front and rear away from the OEM stops.....Hmmmm - me thinks these are in order

THANKS YOU!!!!!!!

Those look great. however I see this problem:

If you install longer shocks like the cognito/bilstein, with this bumpstop, the upper (A) control arm will hit the bump stop bracket at full droop. This will not be a problem if you have a short shock like the original hummer shock. However the hummer shocks limits travel with a lifted H3. Maybe another way of mounting the bracket could help.

Thanks great BS (Bump Stop),

Steve,
There is not that much travel back towards the frame rail. Most of the movement is out towards the end of the control arms where the wheel is. Look at it this way - you crank the TBs to raise the front 2-3 inches and this does not even move the bump stops off the control arms but less than a 1/2".
