King Bump Stops

Anybody have the instructions for installing the front King Bump stops? I thought I had them, but I can't find them. :doh:

 

[OverlanderJK]

Crap! I got busy at work and totally forgot about my appointment. :doh:

Nobody commented. Weak!

Rip MTG's build thread. May you never be forgotten for what you once were.

It's about time this thing dies. Once was? More like never was. :cheesy:

I do have a few things to install though. Hopefully this weekend. Plus I have my rear deck to build still, but it's been like 30 degrees in the garage...way too cold to work on something I don't need until spring. :yup:

Hey Mike, I don't have any better pics but think it's just using the two lock rings/nuts to adjust the height and position of the air bump to match your factory bumps length. I'm sure there's a fancier way to do it but I'd just get the compressed length measurement and match that to your factory bump length and tighten the lock rings against the ends of the sleeve in the spring perch. You'll see it better when they show up. They're charged to 100#'s.

There used to be an engineer on here with a gecko JK that'd be able to throw some logic and math at this but not sure where he went, ;-).

Edit: looks like you might have to sawzall off that bottom portion of the factory bump sleeve to match what is seen in the pic.

LOL! Thanks. But if he was involved we'd probably have to hear about how they were designed wrong and that they'll weaken the frame.

I think I remember that you have to cut the tube down, but then again if I could remember I wouldn't need instructions. :cheesy:

 

[JAGS]

Can't help with install as ORE did mine with the lift. But let me know if you want/need pics.

 

[MTG]

I knew I had seen some instructions somewhere...

Edit: I had 3" stuck in my mind all day, but I just thought it was Sharkey bragging again.

Silly boys. Like I tell the ladies, "I may not give you 12, but I can sure as hell give you 4 three times."

Glad it made it up there in time for a Thanksgiving install weekend project!
