I put a short bumpstop in the rear (1") and I still only have about 1 1/4" clearance. Man, On my 95 I had twice that with the stock bumpstops in it. Anyone else have this problem? Can I buy just a notch somewhere? (I would like to avoid this but may have no other choice) Comments?

have you checked out www.suicidedoors.com for a notch

my mcgaughys 2/4 doesnt bottom out at all so far - just used the energy suspension bumpstops

looks good man

Looks like a 4/6.

That looks pretty low for 4", maybe it's just the pic. Did you measure how much drop you got? I was able to cut my stock bumpstops in half and I've never unintentionally bottomed out. I got close to 4 1/2" of drop out of shackles/hangers ...still not close enough to the frame to notch.

Yea, I remeasured it and it's exactly 2/4 - I think the bigger tires make it look lower than it is. I got my 18's on now and it doesn't look as low. I did use "button" bumpstops too. I guess i'll look into a c-notch.

You shouldnt need a notch with a 2/4.

Dude...... ur making it alot harder than it is.....


just chop the bumpstops down to 1/2 inch or so. It's only a 2/4.... worry about the notch and buttons when you want to go lower.

Your 2/4 looks good. :head:
Now that your done with that, you can admit it that now it's time for a 4/6.

I thought it was a 4/6 the first time I saw the pic, I had a 2/2 drop b/c I never got the hangars on, then I jacked my truck back up now it will be 4/6 soon

i could never stand my truck when it was less than 4/6

My buddie's extended cab truck has a 2/4 and the "button" bump stops and it has enough clearance. You will bottom out only in large bumps when you're going fast enough. You shouldn't have to notch with a 4" rear drop. If you're going to notch, just go 4/6...

I have (0) bumpstops in the rear :crazy:

Post some pics of your 18's on your 2/4. That's what I'm considering now and I'd love to see it on yours. We have the same truck.

Here ya go, I think I posted this before but anyways. I like the ride / handling with the 18's but it still bottoms out. I know everybody says it should be fine with a 4" drop but with only 1 1/4" between the button bumpstops and the axle it is going to happen. (Maybe I just have crappy roads, I don't know)

Make sure you post some pics of your truck.
