  • fucking bumpstop bolts snaped

    Tried to install my 4.1 bumps today. Sure enough that couldn't go easy for meh.

    The back bolts on both sides came right out but the fronts snapped right off. What is the easiest way to get them out? Please don't tell me i gotta cut more holes in my floor

        Isn't it just a nut in the frame? pull out the snapped bolt and chase the threads if you want and screw a new bolt in.

            I'm pretty sure its just a nut welded inside the frame. I broke mine off. Alex aren't your bumpstops just held in with two self tappers?

                  Sam, didn't you say you're running 2 dpg plates with 4.1's and it's perfect? I flexed mah shit out and i need another plate, i still have about a half inch before the bumps contact. What i don't understand is i chopped my quarters already, and you haven't, but i need more bumpstop. Are your wheel wells just massaged to hell?

                  I'm probably just going to cut up some scrap 1/2 steel i have laying around to make another plate. No sense paying shipping for a peice of shiny bling blang.
