Custom length poly bump stops

[Mastiff]

I see on the web site it says you can get these custom length. What's the premium for that? And do you have a rule of thumb for how much they compress? My current setup is bottoming:

I have ORD springs, shocks in factory spot on axle but raised up at frame. Shock has 4.75" of shaft visible. 4.75" reaches to about the middle of the bottom opening in the stop when measured from the spring plate. I already have piece of tubing in there to drop it about 1.5-2". I think these are energy suspension originally purchased around 1995.

It may be a few days before you get a reply, some or all of the ORD guys are at the yearly Fullsize Invasion event in Moab.

The poly bumps like you have only come in 2 sizes, nothing custom listed on their site. You'd probably have to go to a can style bump / bracket for custom positioning (not length).

This is from the ORD site: "Available in 3" and 4 ½" (other sizes available special order) to fit your specific application. Much more effective than spacing down the factory stops.".

What about a better strike pad on the Ubolt plates? I don't know exactly what to recommend there but those bumpstops like a flat strike pad and creating that could drop your bumpstop clearance amount enough to make the space work out.

That's what I'm leaning towards I think. If I made a plate and set it down on the U-bolt nuts that would remove about an inch. Just need to find a good way to make the plates quickly removable so I can check my U-bolt torque. Maybe just a rubber grommet of some kind to hold it.

But, are the poly stops you sell really available in custom lengths?

No, the bumps are just the 2 sizes listed.

Running a jam nut on the ubolt tail on 2 of the ubolts would probably work fine. Like you say, you'd have to remove them to check the primary nuts but that's not too bad. Or make it bolt to the plate some other way and leave socket clearance holes in your strike pad.
