rear bump stops

[vxfocus]

ok got the bump stops on.since i dont have a lift and was just replacing the original stops i wanted to keep as close to original height as i could.the e.s. ones are a little bit longer.
so i just took the old ones off and drilled a single hole in the factory mount location and with a bit of messing around with holding the nut with a wrench in side the channel i got em on.


they sit right on the rear axle.does that mean my springs are too weak?my original stops where all tore up.if so anyone know anywhere i can get new springs?

Many many VXers found the stock rear bump stops were within 1/2" of the axle, and thus, the extremely slamming/jarring effect in the rear when we hit bumps. Some, like me, chose to cut the rears in half to gain more distance. Dramatically improved, the ride, along with the Rancho 9000XLS shocks.

Nah. I would roll with what you have going on there until you really plan on making a lot of changes. Looks great for now. If you want to add larger tires, lift, etc, then I would worry about stiffer taller springs, but until then, good job :-)
