- towproExplorerI think this is what your ford ones look like before installed.
click here - towproExplorerthe ones I pointed out are not as tall as torque lift. and they have holes in the middle of them so they squish some when loaded, sort of acts like a cushion for when the bump stop kicks in. on my 6 ram they had a little big of clearance on an empty truck, but but any load on it and they started to kick in.
in fact here is a picture of the rear, unloaded. NOTE this pictures is one that was 10 years old, with 60,000 miles on it. - BedlamModerator

That would be great and oh so easy but my bump stops do not bolt on and it appears it would be easier just to cut them off..I am not sure of the slot diameter for a bolt and I fear trying to drill out the existing slot for the bump stop might be a bugger to do..
This is exactly how mine looks.(From another members post)..
Spray lube and a square shank screwdriver or pry bar will remove the stock pads the slot is wide enough to bolt in taller pads. If the pad you choose is oblong, you may want to use a counter rotation pin or bolt in the slot to keep it aligned. - jimh406Explorer III

Yes, it's plenty wide. - Kayteg1Explorer II

We do have some reports that same stops made by Torklift were coming apart.
Either way, using hockey pucks can save you 90 bucks. - northshoreExplorerI can see the need/want for the cushion on the leaf where it contacts the bump stop. I like the idea, of using the clamps vs glue or adhesive.
On my f 350 the original stops came out easily, shot them with silicone/WD used a pry tool and it popped out, pretty easily. - jaycocreekExplorer IISo,if I cut that rubber stop off,the longish slot it went into is wide enough for a bolt like comes on the bolt bump stops?

Looks like the bump stop on both of mine before I removed them. I use a larger fender washer on top with lock washer and blue locktite. No drilling required.
Those rubber pieces will come off with a sharp knife and wd 40 or similar. Others have said that you can pry them off, but I’ve found it just a easy to cut them off.
Just a short addition, if it isn’t obvious, cut the narrow rubber at the top. It will easily drop out below with minimal pressure. - jaycocreekExplorer II
