Rear bumpstop

[PHC CK5]

I have a 87 blazer with gm14 rear, I noticed the stock bumpstops would hit the rear end tube if should flex that much which I doubt. My question is should the bumpstop be hitting the spring perch? If so what mod do I need? Does someone sell a kit?

Hitting the tube is normal for the rear.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a easy way to gauge what size or how far the bumpstops should be from tube? All was done was a shackle flip

generally you don't want your springs to go negative arch
