Yup, I had this upgrade done to my Salem Kroger 4x4, and love the results.

Excellent! Makes me feel like putting up that thread was worth it

Tom, thanks for linking to this thread, it's timely for me. After installing new springs in the rear (again) with the result being even more lift, I need to manufacture new bump stops, and just purchased the same Energy suspension urethane ones you installed. Are you happy with them? Do you have any other photos of the front and rear mounts you manufactured? Any other recommendations? Thanks..............

Hey Jeff, I really like the urethane bump stops, the tall shape with voids make them a gradual/soft hit



I only tackled the front so far.



Page 1 has some shots. I didn't take a bunch of pics of the components, but I might have the sketch I used to convey what I wanted to the CAD guy at Chassis Unlimited (Livermore, CA) for his laser. They took it on as a custom cutting job for me.


Here's a couple more pics of the front Bump and shock mounts.

Ok thanks, I'm sure I can fab up something similar for the rears. I'm assuming it doesn't need to be anything crazy stout, especially with the softer hit than my current stock ones.

Hey Tom: I know the pics here are a few years old... but want to let you know that those harbor Freight jack stands have been recalled.
