Default Bump Stops

So, since upgrading my lift and tires I've managed to go off-road twice. The very first time I noticed a couple of times my tires would rub my fenders while fully flexed, but I was unable to stop and check it out. However this most recent trip I was, and I was able to see that I have an inch or two of additional travel before my factory bump stops hit, but I'm fully flexed and hitting my fenders.

I see that I can just buy bump stops from a variety of manufactures and vendors, but I am curious if there is such a thing as an adjustable extended bump stop? If no such thing exists, who makes the most economical extended bump stops?

Thanks

Yes many lift manufactures offer bump stop extentions and many whole new stops.

Yes, I noted that I saw they were available... The key word I was curious about was adjustable.

From my searching I am not seeing anything like that. I guess it makes sense that they are all fixed sizes, but I didn't want to give up hope until I'd at least thrown the question out there to all of you.

Here is what JKS offer's. I have these on my JK. The pucks are interchangeable up to 4" if I remember correctly.
They are a sponsor also, and that's a plus.

Awesome

Thank you very much for that!! You're the man

From JKS' site it looks like they are only available for the front for the JK. I guess I would just measure the distinct and buy a fixed length bump stop for the rear then.

That is good to hear that you like the product.

I'm becoming a fan of JKS myself, and incidentally was planning on buying as much of my suspension and steering components from them going forward.

The rear bump stops come off the axle at an angle. It might me difficult to make an adjustable stop for the rear.
