LTDSC Build Thread

I had a chance to bounce of the superbumps in the front, I'm impressed. I definitely need them in the rear, I constantly hit those granite slabs... Err stock rubber bumps and it sucks!

I'll take pics and measurements on the extensions and share them when I do it so people can replicate it.

Sweet, thanks man!

that would be cool of you. do the super bumps feel like the regular energy suspension bump stops.

no they feel almost like mini nitro bumps. Obviously not as nice but a hell of a lot better than the archaic OEM bump stops. Just have to remember they squish a tad more than OEM, so you really need to cycle the suspension before finalizing the spacer height for the front.

Yup, cycle check is in order.
I didn't even notice denting the inner front fender wells with the UAC's because the Superbumps are so soft, must have smashed them flat. Definitely not harsh.

Finally got my bump stops in after a month back order.

Mark and drill a hole and get a nut for the bolt.

Boom "custom" lol

Bought some washers and nuts for the bump stop set up. Here's how I did it.

Am I correct in thinking that the lowered bumps will make the opposite side drop better when flexing it out? Also, do you think that it will make it so that you bottom out, even though they are softer and made to absorb it, easier if you were to jump or hit a huge dip?
I'm sure liking the way you did them! Just want to make sure I'm not screwing myself on up travel as I hit my current bumps all the time without any rubbing. My other thought is to just take the stock bump off and put these on in the same location.

In your situation is sounds better to remove the stock ones, make a template on the back plate and make your own plate. Then attach the super bumps to that plate and re-install in factory location.

With mine only at 2" rear the 35s scrub the fenders at full compression. Technically this would limit your up travel. But since I hit fenders I need them so I'll stop just before fenders at full compression. Also will feel a ton better now at Impact over the OEM bump stops.

Ok cool. Thanks for the info!

Oh all the time. I just havent washed it from last weekend. Been filthy since. Been over 107* all week. Figured I'd wait until it cools off.

Snagged a sport hood for cheap tonight. Scoop kru

What to you use to wash under it with? I remember seeing pics of your frame looking brand new and I'm sure it will after whenever you wash it next. Mine could use a little cleaning

I use an all purpose cleaner of my choice, pressure washer and a brush. Then finish it off with some undercarriage spray dressing. Keeps it brand new looking.

WD40 also works like a charm!

Installed my OEM sport hood tonight. It's unpainted but for now I'll leave it. It went on easy and fast. I need to remove the vinyl piece off the fender still. I'll do that over the weekend. It was leaving glue residue and I didn't want to deal with it tonight.

So good!
