Real bump stop not looking good.

[Dannyboy76]

Question- while looking under the rear end of my jeep the other day. I noticed that the rear bump stops are looking kind of bad. So I ordered replacements wondering if anyone has ever replace them on a 2008 JKU. Easy or a pain in the ass?

Pop off is a relative term. I've had some put up a good fight. But it's all brute strength no hardware yank old out slam new in

i just took mine off yesterday, wasn't hard:idontknow:

It will take some muscle, but not at all hard. Grease the ends of the new ones to help them pop in easier.

We are talking about this yellow part correct? The easiest way I found to remove it is to pretend your a teen looking at a Playboy for the first time. Grab it with authority. Don't pull on it straight down, but a sideways tug. 3 tugs tops and it's out. To put it back on, insert a side first and a gentle twisting motion with firm upward pressure. No brute force was needed.

If you really have a hard time pulling a piece of foam out you can put a screwdriver in it where the indent is and push the foam.

It is foam though.

The bumpstops or the Playboy? If the pages crumble, throw it away. Same for the bumpstops.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
