GM 4x4 Van Bump Stop Kit

Description:

The GM 4x4 van bump stop kit is crucial for optimizing GM IFS system performance in your 4x4 van conversion. We offer three options: 0-3" lift torsion bar, 5-6" torsion bar, and a 5-6" coilover option with a rearward seat and bolt-in strike pad.

Why:

Bump stops on GM IFS vehicles serve two key purposes. Firstly, they act as a secondary damper for the torsion bar design, countering its natural "pogo" effect for improved ride quality.

Secondly, they prevent harsh bottoming out and tire-body contact which is especially important due to GM vehicles' close-fitting fenders. (This is the same reason you'll see significant lift requirements on GM pickups to increase tire size just slightly.) 

Our Design:

Timberline GM 4x4 conversions require replacing the lower control arms with a Silverado-style arm. This entails re-articulating/positioning the bump stop, done as one of the final steps after leveling, settling, and aligning the vehicle. This ensures precise and effective functionality.

Coilover vans also require bump stops to prevent tire-fender contact. Our Coilover design excels at absorbing bumps and washboard but requires limiters for additional suspension travel both upward and downward.

Vehicle Fitment:

Van Side - 2003-2023 Chevrolet Express 2500/3500/4500 series vans. May work with other models. 

Tools Required:

Standard hand tools, wire brush grinder and/or solvent cleaner, welding required.  

Included:

Bump stop mounting brackets, bump stops, hardware. Striker plate included on coilover variant. (Kit includes driver and passenger sides both)

Construction Notes:

3/16" material CNC cut A36 mild steel, powder-coat, OEM style bump bolt in bump stop, weld-areas stripped of powdercoat.

Tips / Skill Level:

1-10 (10 being most difficult) Level 3 (Requires welding)
