Bump Stops
MetalCloak Aluminum HydraStrike Bump Pads, 4"
MetalCloak's aluminum axle-side bump pads let you fine-tune HydraStrike bump stop height for your tire size and suspension travel. Available in four heights (1", 2", 3", 4"), machined from solid 3-inch aluminum. Fits Wrangler TJ, JK, JL, and Gladiator JT.
MetalCloak Aluminum HydraStrike Bump Pads, 1"–4"
Bigger tires or more suspension travel can turn even a well-fitted set of HydraStrike bump stops into a tire-to-body rub problem at full compression. Instead of hunting for a workaround, MetalCloak offers a purpose-built, adjustable spacer system.
These aluminum axle-side bump pads let you dial in HydraStrike bump stop height for your exact tire size, suspension travel, and fender setup – without giving up durability.
| Compatibility Wrangler TJ, JK, JL and Gladiator JT |
Material Solid 3" diameter aluminum |
Available heights 1", 2", 3", 4" |
