Tuff Country Leafs/ Bumpstop

[ghettocherokee]

Anyone running tuff country 3" leafs? pros cons. just added 33's and need to put some bump stops on the front. Any suggestions that are pretty cheap?

hockey pucks for the front bumpstops are commonly used, Tuffcountry leafs are kinda sucky.

How would one use a hockey puck for a bump stop?

the axle side jounce plate (in the cent of the coil spring kinda looks like the top of a mushroom) there is an indent in the center of that. You drill it then tap it...get the hockey puck drill through the center of that. feed a bolt threw it and tighten it down....simple and an easy way to bumpstop....

not just one hockey puck will be used you have to measure it accordingly, if you have a lathe or know of someone you can have bump stops custom made (using a different material) to length for precise bump stoppage

Always bump stop a inch or so before the tire gets tucked, the rubber will deflate with enough pressure so leave room for that. Id rather have a little wiggle room than cut up tires.

or if no hokey pucks can be found Poop pipe works pretty well too

Awesome, Thanks guys!
Also, does anyone know if the forest service had longer bumpstops in the front? Mine seem to have a welded extension on it.
