Getting back into the car project after a lengthy hiatus
One issue I have is that i hit the bump stops often especially with a passenger.

I have a strange 12 bolt, lca relocation brackets, adj pan hard bar, lakewood LCAs, Biltstiens and the eibach pro kit and i'm runnin 315's.

Looks like I have about 3/4 inch clearance between the bump stop and the axel. likley why I never had to roll the fender

I'm not sure if this is a common problem or if the 12 bolt has a larger axel that is giving me less room.

Anyway - i see a couple of options.
1. cut 1/2 incl off the existing bump stop
2. buy newer poly stops that are shorter
3. put a rubber disk - like a half hockey puck between the body and the rear spring rubber donut, basically raise the rear by 1/2 inch.

I' m thinking of doing options 1 and 3 as that will likely save me from rolling the fenders.

I could probably replace the springs with something a bit longer but i'm try to avoid putting any more $ into a 20 yr car.

thoughts?

Moved it.

I had the Pro-Kit springs/QA1 shocks, with a Strange 12-bolt and never had problems with the stock bump stops. Tires at that time were only 275's on 9.5" wide wheels.

i know this is kinda of old but i use air lift inner air bags and adjust air pressure to compensate for any load or track conditions ... without having to change the spring rate and its super easy to install
