Cheap spare tire bump stops?

[Jeepocalypse]

Sure thing. I cut the mallet heads in half. Two heads gave me three stops. Then stacked them on the old stops. Got longer fine thread screws. Cost 12 bucks!

Care to share a pic? This sounds like an excellent solution.

Was 12 bucks not 22

I had the same size tire on my stock tire carrier for a little while, but I had the opposite problem as my snubbers didn't touch the tire. This was due to my wheels having 3.75 inches of backspacing verses whatever the factory Ravine wheels had (5.5 inches, I think). I bought some extra snubbers and cut them down with a hacksaw to fill in the gaps I had.

If you put the snubbers in a vice with the height you need even with the top of the vise, the vise jaws will make a good guide so that you get a clean, even cut. Cut the outer end of them, not the base. You don't want to cut off the area inside the snubber that the wash/bolt head sits on. Also, don't cut them too short.

Love your picture and idea... I just measured mine and I'm off one inch from my stock LJ bump stops to my tire. I had factory 06 Rubicon wheels and just mounted a set of AEV Pintlers still running 245's. The wheel offset looks to be an inch off. Was it tough to cut through that rubber? Already looked on eBay and there's a bunch of used TJ bump stops. $25 buys 4 free shipping!

It wasn’t hard at all.
