axle bumpers for lowered trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

XwalkerX · 12-17-2015, 11:27 AM

so I found these on the brothers website

http://www.brotherstrucks.com/prodin...number=AXB637L

I emailed them this question the other day but I didn't get a response so maybe someone here would know.

currently my truck is lowered 5" in the rear and does not have ANY of these axle bumpers on it. the only time I really notice is when I happen to encounter a large bump once in a while.

so im wondering if these are a smart idea to put on my truck or if they will hinder the axle movement all together?

anyone have experience with these?

we cut ours down to a more bump friendly condition. I do no know if this is kosher per say, but it works.

the problem is I don't have any on my truck at all currently

so I guess youre suggesting just grab these and if they are too tall just cut them down a bit more?

yup i have a 4" drop on my rear end and i did not have to cut mine at all. once i do the 2" drop blocks though im sure ill have to shave my bump stops.

i don't think you would not have to cut those they look perfect, i was talking about stock ones.
