As long as the axle is moving upwards it is not bending. As soon as the axle makes solid contact and stops moving then it starts bending and breaking.

Back in '06 when I did the spring mod, I cut my bump stops. The 2000 MY Excursion had the old style ribbed stops and mine weren't destroyed by the time I did the mod, so I cut the bottom two ribbed portions off.
When this thread was created back in April, I used the same link Mark posted and bought the same stops and replaced mine, which indeed showed contact even after I had shortened them, and done the V's.
I was surprised because the first few years after the mod I constantly checked them, but I stopped looking after awhile. Just never thought about it until I Andy posted this thread.

my 2002 never contacted after lift. no evidence yet on this 2000. But Pirate brings up a valid point. I also slow down considerably for all bumps I see. Guess I'm going shopping

I bought the energy suspension ones that mount with a single bolt. Stock ones mounted with two bolts but rest assured the center bolt is under there.
My factory ones were completely gone, metal to metal. Even with v codes and leveling leads, I'm apparently kissing the stops every now and then from the looks of things.

Dorman Front Bump Stops
Hi Folks, sorry to bring up an old thread. Could someone please tell me what the hole spacing is on those bump stops? And the diameter of the base? They look perfect for what I need but I can't find the dimensions listed anywhere and I've been googling for hours! Any help would be appreciated.
