I would pull the bumpers & see why you have 2 plates there , the plte should be molded inside the rubber , also the factory bumpers is tapered to create increasing resistance as it compresses , you could trim the bumper off . maybe you have a tall tire up front too .

wow.... I thought most crazy shops were in europe.... checked summit for the bumpstops hp2 posted....  $58 incl. shipping......  :screwy:  not in the next 58 years that is  :swear: 
gonna try to find something industrial and local. There must be something I can use or make fit out here.

You've got some better shipping contacts than I do. Best I could get quoted was $75.

You might do what CP suggest, take it apart to see why there are two plates there, then trim it down some to gain some room.

Hey want me to price them here then mail them to you?  That's nuts! :screwy: Surely one of us can mail them to you as a gift in a padded envelope?

thanks for the offer Brad  :2thumbs:  I will take it apart and see how much I can gain with the plate removed an the blocks trimmed down.  It`s getting cold here from tomorrow on, so I will let it rest for now and wait for higher temps... no heater in my garage  :P

Thats what I was thinking and the best I could find was DHL for $75. Perhaps standard postage could come in cheaper.
