I just got finished replacing my front steering and adding BJ spacers and I noticed that my passenger side front bump stops are smashed up toward the frame. The kid I bought the truck from a few years ago was in to jumping and other things, so anyway, any ideas on staraightening them out? I've thought about heating them and hitting them back down or just cutting them off and welding new ones on. Does anyone know of a place that sells them, brackets and all?

Are your CV's binding at full compression? If not, run it.

One way to fix them would be to cut the brackets off the frame, and weld on some others off a donor truck, or build your own.

Or, the redneck way, add some spacers between the bump stops and the bracket.

Or, heat and bend them back to where they belong. This way, however, will leave the metal fatigued, and they will bend again if they are hit hard in the future. If you go this route, add some gussets to the brackets to reinforce them.

The best way (arguably) would be to cut the brackets off the frame......then continue cutting the rest of the IFS off the frame, and swap in a straight axle.
