Just seeing if there was other options out there.

or if this was the only option.

Why do you want to extend them. really not necessary unless you are doing something non standard.

was paranoid from just seeing the 5160 blow out in the 6112 thread Someone had mentioned that it was needed to prevent damage so it reminded me to ask and look it up.

But now seeing that it could be from being at the max extension level. Gotta love getting all parts to sing together!

This is what [MENTION=141287]FiReBReTHa[/MENTION] is referencing. However the most recent failures seem to be from top-out due to too much lift. As I see it, bumpstops could only help that in flexy situations.

I was reading through [MENTION=50186]adio3x[/MENTION] build thread and he put the 5160s through the ringer as you can see from the pic that I stole from his thread. Here are a couple quotes from his thread that I thought people here would benefit by reading. I guess Im going to be picking up some rear bump stop extensions.

Those were my 3rd set. Probably got about 20k out of each set. Word of caution, get extended bump stops if you want to run those 5160s. Toytec stopped honoring my warranty after the guy that I had been working with left after the 3rd year. Told me to talk to Bilstein and they were saying it was installed incorrectly, which is BS.

I never had bumpstops on while I had the 5160s on, which was my first mistake. I put them through the ringer, very harsh desert bombing in utah & very flexy off cambered rock crawling & the shocks kept bottoming out and spewing oil. I would get either a 2" or 3" metaltech bumpstop, I have the 3" right now with my icons.

The primary bump stops are inside the coil springs. I'm not aware of anyone making longer ones. The outer bump stops are nowhere near bottoming out the springs. They only limit upward travel during articulation. As others have said, unless you have a clearance issue with tires or something, there's not much reason to move them. You can't hit both at the same time unless you're doing something extremely crazy and likely you'll only do it once...

I have a different issue in that my springs have no bump stops internally and I cannot add them (air bags), so I may drop my outer bump stops because I do bottom out sometimes, and when it does, it's a very hard impact with no bump stops. So I have looked at relocating these for a different purpose of acting as the primary bump stops. The problem is that they are very firm and small, so they will be both harsh and possibly too thin and you may be able to blow right through them if you hit hard enough. Hopefully that never happens!

Also - you can just take an aluminum block and drill two holes in it or take a piece of 2" square tube cut to length and drill 2 holes in it as well. These are so easy to make for less than $10, I'm kinda surprised anyone is selling them. You can also buy a piece of 2" aluminum flat bar in say a 1/2" thickness for about $25 or so and cut a bunch of plates and then stack them for the exact amount of adjustment you want.
