One Year Review With Perry Parts Rear Bump Stops

Alright so I made the move to 37s! Finally has been done. I had been looking to do this for awhile now but had to figure out just how I wanted to do it without portals and with a 2.5 inch coil over lift. After watching some videos I knew it was going to require cutting plastic…. And the body. I have more pictures coming soon but here is a sneak peak of the rear so far and I’ll explain what I did. In the first pic you can see what it used to look like and see where I ultimately chose to cut. This cut was with the natural body line and fender flare. Once I cut that line I used the cut line to cut the body. This was the hard part. To make it easier I could’ve taken a marker and traced the line and then taken off the fender flare but I wanted a percise cut. After this was done it was all about taking the burrs out and cleaning it up. Take your time when you do this. I still need to do the front but I am waiting for wider fender flares from another company so I will have to redo the rear and will make another post! Thanks for reading. Good luck cutting!

I literally just crossed one year of ownership with my truck. I moved relatively fast in the beginning with a few basics. Lift, wheels, tires, bump stops.

12 months and 17,000 miles later, my truck has transformed quite a bit from that first stage. It's pretty heavy now. GFC camper, a bunch of steel armor, 37s, and a whole bunch of gear when we travel. I've been to Montana and Colorado for some wheeling trips. Everything from basic forest service roads to 8-9/10 lines on the rocks.

If you've ever bottomed out on a big dip in the road or a random rut off-road, you know that it doesn't feel good. The factory bumps are pretty hard and leave a lot to be desired, especially for modified rigs. The more weight I added, and the more my springs sagged, the more I noticed the impact of the new bumps. As I type this out, I can't think of a single time where I bottomed out the rear end and felt that stiff and jarring feedback from contact. It's always been smooth. And after nearly 20k miles, they still look just as good as new.

Truck picture for attention. The only thing missing in this photo is my new C4 hybrid bumper.

There's only a rear set. The 4G doesn't have one in the front.
