Default anyone have extended tailgate bumpstops?

Just got my matching spare finally, but need extended bump stops. None of the San Diego of road stores have any in stock. Does anyone heading out to tds happen to have a set the would like to part with?

So its just a 33, just the rim has 4.75 BS. So I cut a front bump stop in half and placed between stock stopper and tire. Doesn't seem to wiggle, actually seems studier than my stock one, think this will be good for the weekend?

It should be fine. I've seen several guys slide rubber hose over the factory stops and cut it long enough to reach the tire. That may be your best bet. The Daystar bumpstops are a waste of money. They're made of foam and break VERY easily.

I just got the Daystar bumpstops a few weeks back...hard rubber and works well. They must have changed them.

I'm glad they did. Mine didn't last a month. The little tit that goes into the tailgate broke off :( I was so mad.
