Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Custom Bumpstops

After looking at how expensive bumpstops are, I decided to build some. I wanted 1.5" front and rear. For the front I bought a piece of 2.5" round 6061 aluminum, and for the rear bought 1.5"x3"x3/16" wall steel tubing. I made two sets, so I can put one set on my Jeep and one on my dad's. Total cost for 2 sets was less than $50.

I got it from Speedy Metals online. Whenever I need something odd that I know won't be in stock locally I get it there.
