Replacing stock upper front bump stops on a Mojave

[ColoradoCantu]

My passenger side upper bump stop is leaking on my Mojave and i was quoted over $700 just for the one oem bump stop and thats not including labor. I have a heavy overlanding build and like to take on difficult trails in Co. My local shop said installing aftermarket bump stops would require some fabrication or cutting because the Oem stops attach with three screws through the cup which is not standard. How difficult is it to replace them with after market bump stops for a 3in lift. What do I need to look for? Metal Cloak has the set for $60 but as I have learned, almost nothing is straight forward for Mojaves when it comes to replacing oem parts. Do I need hydraulic bump stops, if so is there a better option for the Mojave than the oem?

The problem with the MC bump stop, or similar, you reference is you are missing the non-Mojave bump stop "holder" below...

Once you pull the stock Mojave bumps out, you're left with about a 3.5" hole. You could probably have someone fab something up to act as an adapter using the same three Mojave mounting holes. Then you could either adapt it for the rubber bumps or for an aftermarket hydraulic type.

The expert from California should be responding shortly

Most aftermarket bump stops require you to completely remove the metal sleeve the jounce rubber goes into. The top of the new bump stop will go into the hole created by removing the sleeve, held in place by nuts top and bottom.

At the point you pretty much have to use aftermarket bump stops when it's time to replace.
Or find someone to fabricate and install a new sleeve to accept a factory jounce.

So it's something to think about before diving into it. Not to mention you'll basically be removing everything like you are installing a lift kit.

Thanks for info, sounds like sticking with OEM bump stops would be the easiest option.

Sorry, I'm late to this thread. I have the same issue with my drivers side. The Fox part number is 984-02-197, and Fox offers a rebuild for 165/ea. Considering the options, this might be cost effective.

Maybe find a used one for sale so you'll have a spare, then have the one you take out rebuilt?

Not sure if you ever figured this out, but I have a set of bump stops off a mojave that were removed with less than 1k miles on them.
