    Yah yah yah I know there are a bunch of posts on bumps stops. More or less just wanted opinions on my idea...

    I need to pull my bump stops due to 0 travel. Buuut I can't aFORD to get low pro bumps for a few weeks. Was thinking of taking off the bump stops getting some 5/8 hose cutting it to length and drilling a hole through it to be able to bolt the hose in place of the bump stops.. Just more or less something to keep from smacking metal to metal... Savi g up for a big notch but not for a few moths...

    yeah i have some flip flops ziptied to the frame for my rear bump stops. a temporary/permanent thing haha.... it works pretty good or you could find a thick piece of rubber and make holes in it to bolt it on.
