Leaf spring Bump Stop

[westxsrt10]

I wonder why our RV suspensions don't have Bump Stops to protect the leaf springs from bending to far and cause possible breakage? Most trucks and autos have them. For $10 each and a few hours labor it's low cost insurance in my view. (I still have to weld them in)

I like your idea. I wonder if the "timbrens" would work as well.

Great idea will have to look into them for our unit.It will give me something to do when we get home.

Hey where did u get those shocks mounted like that? Don't you know they are supposed to be layed down more so they don't work..
No seriously did you change them or did they come that way?

My unit didn't come with shocks.....I found some that would work on a Monroe PDF.and welded a L bracket to the frame for the top support.

cool, now that is how a shock is supposed to be mounted. Maybe you should send that idea to Lippert, cause they seem to be a little confused.
