They only have the 1 style of bump stops for our trucks now. At least that I could find. I agree with Josh they look to be not quite in the right location. If you cant move them they will get trashed in short order then just replace them with the ones James posted.

Why'd you go with a 6" lift for 33s?

Its really the only lift that drops the differential. Its basically a 4-6 inch lift. With this lift turned down all the way i barely clear these 33''s but remember these are -44 offset

Yeah a 6" is 4 without cranking the tbars. An 8 is 6 with level cv.

You realize that every lift out there 4" and up drops the diff, right?

Depends. Some kits designs require more or less to achieve desired height in the instruction. And just leaving the tbars uncranked on a few will put you lower than 2" below the mfg designed height.

Think those would work for rear bump stops? Mine smacks frame every once in a while and it sounds nasty lol


Sure! They have some that are a bit thicker that might be best to add some cusion. Just cruise around their site and see what ya like. Light hits won't do much but heavy hits on them will start to split them.

Lol yea i didnt mean zone specifically. Im saying i had to at least get a 6 inch, which is basically the smallest that drops the diff a good deal

Well i ditched the gm bump stops and bought these energy ones and they fit in there perfect. Just the slightest gap in between it and the control arm. BTW these bump stops are a must and are part of the suspension cause the front end was all over the place without them. Heres some pics guys. Thanks for the help yall.

lowered lift kit, no bumps, and soft valved shocks make for a squishy/floaty ride. torsions on these trucks are hard to get dialed in with shocks anyhow
