Front Bump Stop Removal
So what's the easy way to remove the front OEM bump stops to install some new Superbumps from Wheelers besides buying an extra large pipe or crescent wrench? From what I measure they are abou 3" from flat to flat to grab onto.

I installed the wheelers not too long ago, what I did was jack the front end up took the front wheels off and let the suspension droop as low as possible. I used a large adjustable channel locks and they came off easy. To install this is where it can get tricky, the Allen wrench they provide is a tad too long, so what I did was took some gorilla glue and put some on the bolt head, so I could thread the wheelers on like the stock one. Worked like a charm. I do believe that you could prob do it without jacking the vehicle or removing the wheels, but I was installing new sway bar end links so I needed to have my wheels off anyway for more room to work.

Thanks, the biggest Channel's I had last night barely fit and I couldn't get any leverage on them but I had the wheel on still too. Looks like bigger badder channel locks are the answer.

There is some white thread locker type stuff on them, so they are a bit stubborn. I used a very large channel lock.
