Bump Stops Completely Squished?

[Anthonyvan9]

I recently installed a zone 6 inch lift kit in my LBZ with 3 inch blocks in the rear. I lowered the front down to be level with the rear and have flat CV angles. Now the bump stop or jouncer is completely squished by my lower control arms. I have read the bump stop is supposed to be barely touching the lower control arms. Does anyone know a solution to my issue or know a different style bump stop that would work with the kit? I do not want to crank my torsion bars any higher. I'm not sure if this limits my up-travel worsening my ride quality? Thanks

Welcome

What bump stops are you using? Those don't look factory. And from looking at the zone website, it says to reuse the factory bump stops. Can you remove the spacer on the bump stop?

I believe they are factory bump stops I got them off rock auto. They are MEVOTECH MS504332. No spacer can be removed, they are bolted directly to the rear cross-member on the lift kit.

Unfortunately that is a design limitation of that lift kit. Either modify the lift kit or cut the bump stops...

I would rather cut the mount and move it up.

Have you reached out to the manufacturer? I'm going to guess they will say crank it up more. Might just need to do as Brick suggest

That's most likely what they will say...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will see what I can do and reach out to zone. I will let you know!
