When I got the bumpstops, part number 15712438, they didn't come with the cups... So I went back to get a set... The parts guy is absolutely oblivious to what is going on and kept saying I need some bracket bolted to the frame... He couldn't grasp the concept of them not going on the original vehicl...

_STUCKY

Guess what I got yesterday... I partially blame the kid behind the parts desk at the Chevy dealership.... I went in there the other day and was way more persistent about finding these bump stops. He tells me, after like 5-10 minutes, he needed a vin number to find them. Which is really stupid if you...

I had the full size ones on my truck but the rubber rotted off them... All that is left is the mettel cups.... That is the reason I do not want used ones... If that was me, I would buy these: http://www.daystarweb.com/productdetail.php?productID=666 Then I'd take the sway bar off of 1 side and try ...

I also was not looking for an e-argument over bump stops. Just wanting to find another option... Preferably one that doesn't fall off after a few salt covered winters...

_STUCKY

The length will help me to find a suitable replacement, since the recommended part number is not readily available new in my area. They will not be available new anywhere in a few years, im sure. There are bump stops out the wazoo available online. The ones on airbagit.com that I linked look nice. T...

How have I missed this!?

Are the fenders cut any?

Are you saying that the rear stops don't really need changed?

So I did some pricing for the Timbren GMFS10 kit, and the cheapest I found it for was about $190. Needless to say, I won't be buying it. So I did a search for Foam bump stops and came up with these... http://www.yourhotcar.com/prod/Mcgaughys/Suspension/Suspension_Components/Chevrolet_Silverado_Mcgau...

I went to the local dealership today. They cannot get part # 15712438. They however can get part # 15023225 , but they want a whopping $45 apiece for those suckers.

_STUCKY

Frame rub doesn't concern me. I've dealt with it on the k5 and the yj. I plan to cut as much sheetmetal as I can (or need to). So I should be ok with these? I'm wanting to go without spacers if I can.

I think it would be better to just lose the hooks if they are not functional. That way there is no temptation whatsoever. A better option would be to make them functional.

Could you get me a picture of the leaf setup, please? I want to see the shackle angle, with the longer shackle. And how much difference in height do you have between the front and rear? As in the "rake" of the truck.

_STUCKY

I could probably assemble some pics in various stages if, anyone is interested.

This guy is interested!

I still haven't found good, close pictures of the cuts without the flairs on.

My plan is cut the wheel wells as much as possible, lose the flairs, lose the plastic air dam, turn the torsion bars, boise spring kit or add in a couple leaves and a shackle if needed, bumpstops, wheels or spacers, and 31x10.5s. I have 2.5 inch springs out the wazoo. A shackle is no problem either....

I cannot seem to track down the Bilstein shocks suggested for these trucks, part numbers 137174 and 137179.

Small update. Last weekend I went and grabbed the skid plates off of a 96' zr2 regular cab.

_STUCKY

I had considered that. Some angle iron with gussets would do the trick. Is there any way to get measurements of the stock bracket? Like the heighth from the base to the center of the vertical hole?

Well.... I didn't get the brackets.... And I don't think the fuel tank skid will work without major modification. It's not deep enough.

Hmmm..... Looking at the mods page for the skid plates, it says the front skid won't work, no problem since he doesn't have it... What about the others? It says extended cab skids, I'm guessing I shouldn't even bother

Perfect! Thanks Brule. I didn't expect input that quickly. The pirate4x4 guys would scoff at paying that much for a 10 bolt. I may still go see what I can get off of the truck.
