Daystar KJ09144BK Tailgate Bump Stops for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

GOOD QUALITY

Great fit, easy to trim. Especially when you get bigger tires and rims. You will need them.

No idea what other reviewers are saying, so far no problems with these. I have after market HD tailgate hinges with tailgate reinforcement bracket, went to put the OEM bump stops on and as I was pushing and twisting it on the nub literally sawed off, bought another and it worked. Recently I bought wheel spacers that turn JK studs into JL studs, wanted same pattern on spare tire, so I bought a 5th wheel spacer, old OEM didn’t work any longer as the wheel spacer is 1.5”. These twisted in with no issues and when they were on it was still tight enough to not just spin around. Sizing was not an issue because I have a reinforcement bracket I could just put the twist nub on top of it and get an idea (hard to do I’m sure if mounting in the tailgate, but if I had to do that, I would use a cool new device called a measuring tape), cut off one section, put spare tire on and hand tightened the lugs. Perfectly flush with tire, and as I torqued the lug nuts to 60ft lbs it compressed it a little more and the next cutting groove compressed on one side making it more snug. It is foam but it’s high density foam (I compressed them by hand and it does absorb a lot, I see no issues of it being able to absorb tire wiggle), of course if you bend it in half it’s going to break, it’s not meant to be bent in half it’s meant to compress. Looks really good, time will tell how long these will last but so far so good.
