Default Im an idiot!!! Bumpstop help!!!

I swore up and down that I wouldn't go wheeling without installing my rear bump stops. Of course... I did. And now I have a bent rear bump stop pad. So how the heck am I gonna address this? Darnit!!!

Weld a flat piece of steel over top of it and go from there. Back in business. Must've been one hell of a hit

The giant crescent wrench from harbor freight will fix that and adjust jam nuts too.

Well it's $27.99 so most likely you have enough in your stash you can use. At least I hope so, I'm in enough trouble with my wife I don't need any more angry wives coming after me lol

But seriously, if you have any jam nuts you need this wrench anyway

Just weld on a small cut piece of rectanglular steel tube the height of the bumpstop extension you need. I dont understand why people pay any more than $5 for rear bumps.
