How do the rear bumpstops come off? Do they unscrew, or are they bolted on?

 

well on what car/truck? you have three there im guessung the yota well i dont know but someone is going to ask unless they have one like yours

 

The Yota. If the Ramcharger hits the bumpstops the springpacks probably broke

 

do they look like this? you can always hack some off

 

On a coil-sprung 4Runner, they prevent the spring collapsing enough to let the shock fully collapse. Bumpstops save shocks. I think they are glued on. Really. Mine fell off.

With aftermarket springs, you may not need them.

 

Ha, not good. I need to take them off to get the springs off a little more easily. Hell, they very well may be glued on. Matt, did you replace them after they fell off? Any problems?

 

I never did, I have had no problems. I'd need to treat the rust then epoxy the bumpstops back on.

 

For anyone searching, the rear bump stops on a coilsprung 4runner can be removed by sticking a 12mm deep well socket into the hole on the bottom, and taking out one bolt. Easy. Definitely use a deep well socket, or you will end up losing your socket inside the bumpstop, it's a tight fit.

This makes installation of lift springs, or coil spacers MUCH easier.

I just left mine off, if I end up bottoming out and ruining shocks, I'll set up a bumpstop system on the frame or axle.
