Spare Tire bump stops

[Aquastream]

Hey guys.

I just added the mopar slotted wheels to my rubicon, the offset is +12 and tires are 12.5 wide but even though still it isn’t touching the bumps .

There is about <1/2 inch or less in between so i’m looking for diy ideas to get something in there to support the spare from bouncing up and down!

The squash ball idea is great but there is not enough room in there to fit it!

Thanks for any replies !

Cheap way use pcv pipe, or get a Teraflex spacer kit that comes with different size spacers.( came with my relocation brackets) There are also cut to size available.

Amazon has a few extended bump stop options for about $25. Cut to fit.

I used these and they worked well.

Section of heater hose shoved in the stock bump

I used rubber step down plumbing couplers. They slide ride over the stock bumps and you can cut the length to what ever you need. The fit was tight enough that you don't need the clamps.

This. picked up at nearest local big hardware store and spare does move at all.

All the options are great but i love this one!
If i can avoid having to totally replace the current bumps that’s best, because they are a b*^!h

I use rubber chair leg feet pushed into the existing bump-stops to add the extra space. Available at any hardware store.

Given that i’ve only got about 1/4-1/3 inch of space i think the only option right now where i can add to my current bump is the plumbing fittings, I’ll report back!

Thanks everyone!

Was this the size that you needed??
I left home to the hardware store and i haven’t measured the bumps

Yes, that is what fit my 392.

Thanks for this tip. They slipped right over the factory bumps and i trimmed them to the length i needed. It works great and was below $15 in canada.
