Will the daystar bump stops work to securely mount my 33/12.50/17 cepak/pro comp 7005 spare to my stock tire carrier. I had this mounted with my stock rubber bump stocks for a short period of time until the squeeking and squeeling became unbareable. I quiclkly put the stock tire back on and the noises stopped.The stock bump stops did not make contact with the new tire. The noise it was making was not a metal grinding sound and upon inspection the tailgate appears to be undamaged. At this time I can't afford to buy a new bumper/carrier or high end carrier( or-fab or aev). Will the daystar's work until I can purchase a new carrier? The pro comp 7005's I'm running have a 4.75" backspace. Thanks!

 

Yes they will work. They can be cut down to different lengths

 

Yep will work perfectly. Doesn't hurt its cheap insurance to save your tailgate too.

 

Good to know. Thanks for the info. Looks like I will be ordering the daystars...

 

order them soon, they've been on backorder everywhere for about 6 weeks.

Called Northridge today, still on backorder. Ended up getting a set on Amazon

 

I ordered a set back in August from Quadratech...got them about 2 weeks ago. However....they do not touch my tire. I have a 35" Nitto Trail Grappler on a 18" XD Addict. I had to buy the spacer/extender for the stock carrier to get the tire onto the carrier. They are about 3/4" too short. Ugh...saving like crazy to get that PSC Brawler bumper/tire carrier!

 

I'm looking for a set. You have that amazon link? I searched and nothing came up. Quadratec and 4wdparts on backorder also.
wonder if I can fabricate some out of a chunk of rubber by whittling it down or gluing a rubber ball to end of stock bumpstops. I'm thinking maybe I can slip a kong over the existing ones.
Its not like anyone is going to see it.

 

I had a worsening squeeking noise from my spare when I switched to steel rims with less offset. Finally figured out I just hadn't tightened the spare onto the carrier enough and there was a little movement around one of the studs that was progressively getting worse. My bump stop extensions are trimmed down plastic door stops that just slide into the stock stops.

 

can't find the link, guess the guy sold out?

 

I just purchased a set from Stylin' Trucks. What is the best way to cut them? I was thinking a table saw might work to get a perfectly straight cut.
