Hey Guys

I'm after a set of the A9x bump stop seats for the rear.
I need to make my bump stops sit higher.
Can i buy these seats?

Thanks

Can't buy them, just get some round tube the same diameter, cut the bump stop in half and weld a spacer between. If you do it neat enough, sand up well, you should not be able to tell it was done.

Not sure about A9X, but L34s were 25mm in height, from memory.

I haven't quite got to this stage with my diff yet but since changing from the factory wheels and ride height, I plan on setting the bump stops at whatever height actually keeps the wheels off the guards. Maybe pull the springs and jack up the diff to a point where you have some clearance between tires and the bodywork and take meseaurments.
