I'm going to a park sunday but my son can't make it so i thought I switch wheels with him for the day but with out bump stop whats the worst that could happen? His wheels already have the proper back spacing and 35's. I think he a has what would be 1.75 back spacing for a stock wheel.Just wondering if I might rip off a fender.
Thanks Tom

I am no expert but I think you would be OK . I think your only concern would be to watch how much you stuff your wheels. :idontknow:

Hopefully you don't bottom out on the shocks. Might wanna check to make sure you don't do that.

These trails we are doing arent anything crazy but I'm sure I could flex the whole way a few times. Hopefully bottoming out your shocks once or twice wont ruin them.

While bump stop extensions will help prevent you from bottoming out your shocks and help prevent rubbing at a full flex, another main purpose of having them is to help prevent the over compression of your coils. In other words, if you flex out too much and long enough, you could run the risk of compressing your coils to the point where they do not return to their original height.

Oh damn that don't look good . That might make the trip home a little rough . Is that break fluid or from the shock.
