Just waiting on the final price from machinist. The design was tweaked slightly, causing the delay. I'll let you guys know as soon as I have a price. Should have some in hand ready to ship by early next week.

OK guys,

First batch of kits will ship next week.

Bumpstop relocation kit comes with one pair of unpainted brackets, one pair of OEM Torx screws (for extra hole), one pair of stainless washers, and one pair of stainless nylon locking nuts.

Decided on unpainted to keep cost down.

Everyone that expressed an interest has been sent a pm. If anyone else is interested just drop me a pm.

Since I'm not a paid vender, and I don't want to anger the site owner or admins, I may wind up listing these on eBay in the future. Price would be higher to cover listing/selling fees. eBay id is derookie.

I should have some new pics of the kits by this weekend.

Mike

Pic with jack under driver's side trying to compress as much as possible with FRPP springs.
Be sure to install the bumpstop on the plate with the large hole directly under it so air
can escape during compression.

These are $80.00 shipped to U.S (Add $7.00 for shipping to Canada)

Looking forward to installing them. Hopefully sending off my Alcoas to be widened soon.

Some of you guys that have lowering springs like myself may choose to cut the first nub off the stock bumpstop or you can run the Eibach bumpstops on the right. I picked up the Eibach bumpstops p/n BS45001617 from Summit for $9.00 each. You only get the rubber piece. You just remove the stock rubber (this is tough to do, might have to cut is out) and pop in the new one. It's my understanding that these bumpstops are the same ones used in the Eibach sportline kits.

I just finished my Alcoa project. I ended up using the 10's on the front with 275's and the rears are widened to 12" with 325/30's. It is tight, but it works. Many people sent their 10's out to be widened, but I researched if they could in fact be used on the front so that the front tire size (foot print) could also be upgraded.............

Ok, got mine in the mail today, and there's no installation instructions. What gives? I want a full refund! :cuss:




J/k. These things look great, very professional indeed. Hopefully I'll find time to put them on today or tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to design the brackets and having them fabricated. :beer:

Thanks for the props guys!

Just for clarification:

This is the bracket which I had removed. You can see where my wheel had scraped.

Here's a pic of the bumpstop in the stock location with the above bracket removed. You can see how it is now useless.

Still have a few kits left.

I'm glad you tried that out. Now I can send my 9" Alcoas out to be widened instead of the 10's. Thanks for validating the 10's work up front.

My brackets arrived last week as well.

I decided to just trim the stock bumpstops instead of using the Eibach bumpstops for now.
