My 79 twin cab has been raised, 3" [I was told by the previous owner though I'd like to check that measurement].
Aside from that I've noticed that on the RH side the bump stop cone, inside the spring, is slightly misaligned and at max compression comes into contact with the spring and presumably doesn't insert into the concave cavity on the lower spring mount point.
I'm guessing this means I'll have to pull the assembly apart and have the conical steel section at the top of the bump stop assembly straightened, though I can't be sure where the problem lies and I can't see a bend at any particular point although the lower end of the bump stop is way too close to the spring at a point where it's clearly been making contact .
I can't see any obvious way this might have happened in the first place other than a) it was assembled out of alignment or b) the tip of the "cone" has missed the cup at some point, slipped to one side and bent the assembly.
Has anyone had experience with this event, are there any suggested remedies and could it have connection to the 3" of suspension lift?
Suggestions welcome.
