Anybody running this kind of bumpstop?

Specifically, on an IFS rig? I can't find an application grid for this on their website, but it sure looks like a neat deal. This is a Sway-a-Way offering, kind of like a mini-shock absorber.

Hey Scott. We could use those for when you do you're SAS. They look pretty cool!

I might try them on the rear of my rig since I am severly lacking bump stops back there.

For the sway-away bumpstops they are about $200 a pice plus about $25 a piece for the cans Sway-Away (bump stops are at the bottom). Fox and Bilsteins are a little cheaper

I do now, wasn't sure about their application when I first saw them on the SAW site. Just looking for a way to keep my front axles from overextending, since I seem to have separated my drivers side tulip joint a couple months ago. I though I had seen some bumpstop extenders somewhere, but now I can't seem to find them.

They are made to prevent hard bottoming out. They provide a super high spring rate to help slow down bottoming out, that is why you see them on prerunners and race trucks. And they dont come application specific. They mount in the air-bump can and that is welded to the frame
