Bumpstops??

Post by Doug Comer »

Hey guys, I haven't looked very hard yet. I am looking for some bumpstops (axle bumpers?) for the front of my highboy. I looked at Mac's and LMC. LMC has them but the part # is the same front and rear :doh: . I don't think that is right. What have you all used? Thanks

I had a 78 f150 4x4 i junked and i think the front bumpers are the same for both, I didnt measure to check but thought about pulling them off to use on my highboy because they looked alike.

You would have to check on application because it doesn't say 4wd or 2wd.

Checked the 78 and they are different. I saw a pair of 64-7? mustang bumpstops and they look pretty close.

Good morning Doug!

This thread includes some photos of the Dennis Carpenter 2WD I-beam bump-stop parts I installed on #50. I'm sorry I failed to record their part numbers in the thread, although I'm guessing that your 4WD bumpers might be a completely different design regardless.

How are D.C. I-beam bumpers attached to the frame?

You're welcome Doug! If it would be particularly helpful, I'd be happy to dig out the part number for you.

No need to dig out the part #. Thanks though. I assumed the same thing that you did, that they should have a stud coming out. Thanks for the help.
