A smaller 1 is required for 97 and up. Bump stops with a diameter of 5" are recommended, while those with a diameter of 2" are recommended for 96 and earlier.
On the front of your 2003 TJ, KJ09101BK would look fantastic. Custom Daystar Stinger bump stops are the only better option. The model number is KU71090BK.
I used them on my 2 and they seemed to work. There were five lifts in total, and they were all long enough. I doubt you'd want them to be any longer, and certainly not any shorter. BTW. Make your life easier by putting grease on the tip.
Yes. You'll need to remove the old ones from their cups and glue them into the old mounting cups; it'll be a tight fit, but it'll keep them in place.

My 1992 Jeep Cherokee is too big to fit into the factory bump stop housing! If installed as designed, with the largest indented ring facing upwards, it will be too wide to fit into the factory bump stop housing. You CAN, however, use this bump stop in your Jeep by pressing it into the bump stop housing upside down with the smallest diameter end facing up! br> The Daystar bump stop is surrounded by smaller rings that are spaced at 1" intervals. The cut-off locations on the rubber bump stop are where these rings are supposed to go. The three clamping "fingers" on your factory, metal bump stop housing measure just over 1" from the inner fender well side of the factory bump stop housing (measured from the top). ) If you lubricate the Daystar bump stop with soap, such as liquid dishwashing soap or Murphy's Tire Soap (I used this), and press it into your factory bump stop housing upside down, it will lock into place in the Daystar bump stop's first, indented, cut off ring. Avoid lubricating the bump stop with grease or oil. br> You'll need a small bottle jack perched on the axle pad where your coil spring sits (around) to install the bump stop. Your coil spring must be removed, your tires must be removed, your vehicle must be jacked up as high as possible, and your axle must be supported closely off the ground with wood blocks. To line up the axle/bottle jack/Daystar bump stop correctly, you may need to unbolt the lower and upper factory control arms from the axle one side at a time. It will resist you for a while, but it will eventually fall into place on the first cut off ring. br> Because my 1992 Jeep Cherokee has a 6" lift kit and a long arm kit installed, I had to cut off the bump stop at the largest indented ring BEFORE pressing it into place. This was necessary to ensure that the installed bump stop length was correct for my application and that coil spring clearance was not compromised (the widest end of the bump stop was installed down). The widest end of the bump stop should face upwards when installed! Depending on your application, you may need to remove more of the bump stop than I did. Cut your bump stop to length with a miter saw or a lubricated hacksaw, for example.
No. Daystar is not a company with which I am affiliated. I simply had to make this product work so that I could get my Jeep back on the road the same day I got it! Sheesh! It is said that necessity is the mother of all inventions. If you run into the same issue as I did, I hope this helps! Best!!.
As a reminder to anyone who is trying to replace stock bump stops: These are 2" bump stops that have been extended. I've seen a few reviews about these not fitting on certain jeeps and/or people complaining about stock height applications, so please keep in mind that these are extended and you should do your research to ensure that they will fit your vehicle. To those reading the reviews that suggest these bump stops have been severely modified, I would advise them to do their homework. You'll need a press, jack, or vice to get these into the bump stop mounting (cups?) because they're a tight fit with retainers in the cups to keep them in place. If you're looking for stock-height bump stops, I'd suggest the following: I have a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee that is 3" lifted, and these fit perfectly and will prevent tire rub when flexed out. I recommend them for minor lift applications, but I haven't had the opportunity to test how well they handle abuse from my suspension. I hope this has been of assistance.
I used these with stock suspension and noticed a significant improvement in front suspension rebound. These are a great deal if your car has a mild lift and you want to keep it on the road. Being 5 feet tall, I'm a stocky guy. Where the stock would have had a couple inches of clearance, the 9L ZJ now rides on the bump stops. br>br> I'd advise you to cut. If you're stock, 5 to 1 inch will suffice, but only because the rebound is a little too aggressive at highway speeds. To be fair, the shocks were recently replaced by the previous owner, and I have no idea what brand or quality they are. That said, I wouldn't describe it as bouncey, but rather as almost bouncey. Apart from that, the cornering, speed bumps, and overall ride quality are significantly improved. I believe that removing is sufficient to provide a. They'd ride much better on the highway with a 5 to inch clearance to the spring plate while keeping most of the other advantages. Regardless, this is a great buy for anyone of any height, and it's more of a sport driving upgrade for stock height ZJ's if you lower them a little. The money spent was well spent.
On my 2005 LJ with the 4" suspension, I installed these. My first trip with them was on the Rubicon trail, and unfortunately, that was the only trip they lasted on. Keep in mind that this could be due to my Jeep's fault, as the lower stop does not perfectly match the upper stop, and they only touch on one side; however, I bought these because they have a larger contact surface than most stops. These bump stops were quickly ripped in half on both sides of the contact surface. They don't exactly line up this time, so that's a factor. In any case, they weren't up to the task, and I'm not going to replace them. I suppose you'll have to decide based on how close yours are to each other.
I put my faith in Amazon to guide me to the right part, and I paid extra for Prime shipping to get it here in time for a Jeep event. Shame on Amazon and Daystar for providing inaccurate information about their products!.
To get the bump stop to fit into the mount, I had to get out the grinder with a sanding attachment and remove quite a bit of material. I had to lube it up and use a jack to force this part into place once it was close. I'm still not sure if it'll stay, but it has so far. Unless you enjoy grinding and re-grinding, I would not waste my time with this. To even come close to working, you'll need to shape your parts.
They do what they're supposed to do. Put a dab of grease on the top part and squeeze it in until it sets. I thought I had them in, but they were about to fall out, so I had to push them in further. You're a better man than I am if you can get them in without using grease.
