Cheap Bump Stops?

Looking for some ideas for making cheap extended bump stops for my 82.

On my Jeep I used some longer bolts and washers to extend the rear bumps and some hockey pucks in the front coil buckets.

Any cheap ways like this for Toyotas?

Would this create more up/down travel?

No it will limit up travel so the springs don't go negative and break.

im assuming sfa so i cant help you upfront, but in the rear couldnt you add a braket to the existing one and then use the ubolts to hold it down, what im saying isnt too clear...umm...i dont know if you recall, but there was a zuk mod to add coil springs to help lift the rear of leaf sprung pickups and 4runners...for some of them they used spacer brackets to bring the bump stop up...ill try and get a link

http://www.gearinstalls.com/dc.htm

scroll down to where they do the lifted truck, to make the coil work they add spacers to the bottom mounting point, well in your case you could just make the spacer, and attach the bumpstop to the top instead of the coil...
