Adjustable bump stops

Great plan Dave, it's not the first time we've adapted something that will potentially turn very useful. I think you're totally onto something with the "bolt-on" can mount. In my situation I only had one shot at making it work or else it was time to change height of the actual bumpstop.

Even a retaining clip of some sort welded on when you determine ride height will work out great.

Have you seen other examples of "bolt on" mounts or was that all you? I like it!

I really haven't seen many bolt on mounts but I can't say the idea as a whole isn't mine. I saw a pic of some aftermarket bump cans (welded) on a Toyota crawler that used urethane bump stops until he could afford air bumps and swap them in later on down the road.

I just wanted something bolt on in case I didn't like it or needed to change it later on with out going through the ordeal of hacking it off with a grinder.

I had an ah ha moment between my last post and this one. I was thinking instead of welding a sleeve to use as a stopper, I could just cut a sleeve that would slide in place to fill the space between the bump can and the top of the bump stop. To keep the adjustability factor in the mix, I can cut different lengths to suit my needs.

I had that same thought. Use the original size tube since it won't be cut and pinched. Now just to make them adjust in the cab to add stability on side hills LOL.
