I decided to cut off my bumps stop and found that I have a cup type stop. They are like the ones on the trailblazer. They fit into a cup. The rubber is gone only the cup remains. Was there a change somewhere along the line. 2002 blazer xtreme. I did a google search and have not ran across them. Also the front has the same style. Rubber is gone there also.

OK I did find a image when using google images and see blazer style in the thread. What rearend do I have?

so did you?
or what is your question, because you have several sentences, but none in question form.

 

[remops]

Your right not much of a question there. just wondering about the style being different from the ones shown on the pickups. I did not cut the stop off just the cup remains. I may replace the rubber on the front.

Just the Blazer style AFAIK. I don't look at every Blazer in the junkyard, but the ones I look at usually have that style.

I cut the cups off to put them on a pickup.

2003 Blazer-X. Cut out the factory cups/stops and added an Energy Suspension stop.

Unless you have an extreme drop or drive like a crazy person, you'll probably never bottom out. I cut mine off years ago and have never hit. That's with a 2/3 drop on top of the ZQ8. How much clearance did you actually have with the new stop vs the old?

 

[SSandfish]

In my case, it has been a while and I am guessing that it was about an inch difference. My old stops were right on the axle housings and I did not want anything impacting the brand new 9" setup. Also, when I initially cut the factory mounts out, my rear springs had been re-arched and it was way too tight in there. I have since had that reversed. Finally, the roads here in Colorado Springs are terrible! Ruts, potholes, rain culverts.and this Blazer is LOW. I am regularly close to the stops, but the Belltech SP chocks are very tight. This thing rides like a brick. I may end up having to put an inch back into the front and rear once the drivetrain swap is done.

 

[manbearpig]

That's why they makes notches....

 

[SSandfish]

Agreed. I was not ready to go there initially, but once the drivetrain swap is done, it may happen. I definitely need a more long term solution. I love the way this thing sits and it handles like it is on rails.

Something for remops (OP) to think about depending on what his future plans are.
