My bump stops are falling out like candy in a machine..

1) who has aftermarket stops?! who can recommend a brand, etc..

2) who can help me? I don't have anything "high" enough on my property to lift on end of my jeep to undo the spring or stretch the spring to squeeze it in.

I have an engine hoist that can be used to lift one end of the Jeep off the ground.

... Are you busy Wednesday evening?! If so... Can I take one out and see if I need a retainer to go with them?

Sweet- I'll come up on Wednesday after work. Hoping to buy stuff asap if the stop is in pieces

Kurt--- it IS my locker- I hope. I did it again last night, but not a loud bang, but almost like the gears gave up on the passenger rear then re-aligned.

I thought so. A Detroit will do that once in a while! :-o

I don't believe it's acting up. They just sometimes "unload" with a bang. Might be you are driving it more now?
Might want to check you have equal pressure in the two rear tires.

Kevins did the same thing . Bang while going in a straight line. Especially after making a turn . Try a friction modifier even though Detroit says no need. FjR68
