Adding Jeep JK bump stop extensions is a suspension upgrade many enthusiasts eagerly undertake. They are available as part of a kit or can be purchased in sets of two.
Why use bump stop extensions
Modding the suspension of a vehicle will have side effects. For example, there is now a danger that there will be grinding or impact between the metal parts of the chassis. Predictably, this can cause a lot of damage. The bump stop extensions serve as a cushion in the suspension to prevent impact.
Selecting the size
Ideally, the size should be if you can fit. This will allow the largest amount of room during flexing.
Front and back bump stop extensions
Installing bump stop extensions on the front and back of the car is crucial. The suspension covers the entire vehicle. For that reason, if all four bump stop extensions are not installed it will ride uneven and disproportionately damage the tires, shocks, or fenders.
Installation
It is recommended that a trained technician install the Jeep JK bump stop extensions. However, it is something a car enthusiast could accomplish if he or she has a medium level of mechanical skill and several hours of free time. Additionally, a kit is the easiest, most efficient way of tackling this type of car mod. Then all the required parts are in one place.
