I recently got some trail duty extended bump stops but they fell out... When I put it in they were tight. Has this happened to anyone before? What can I do to prevent them from falling out

It happened when I was wheeling

Shove a piece of wood between the bump stop and your control arm and press it up, it worked for at least 1 of them.

There's metal tabs that hold them in... Maybe stick a screwdriver in and pry on the tabs a little to make sure they haven't bent back in a little bit.

I was able to pop mine in without any soap. I kinda did a twist push move and they went right into place. I've flexed it pretty hard since the install and they're still there. I have my tbars set to 23 1/4 and they're barely touching like the oem stock setup.

I remember now today I did a lot of of deep water crossing maybe the soap that was still on the bump stop made it slippery and it fell out

I hope they're sending me the 1/2" cause there wasn't an option on their website to choose the 1" just 1/2" trail duty bump stop... But on the invoice it didn't specify which bump stop it just said trail duty bump stop... Unlike they did last time it specify 1/2"

To me the OEM were extremely easy to remove/install vs the Trail Duty units. When I used the dish soap I just slightly coated them, and popped them into place. Then I rinsed the bumpstop buckets with water until I didn't see anymore soap. Took it for a drive to dry them up and they've been good ever since. I agree you could take a screwdriver and bend the tabs more. A small amount of silicone, or RTV on top of the bumpstop would also help.

Did they go up on their bumpstops? The last set I ordered for my Alpha were only 40-45.00 if I remember correctly.

I'm not sure but to me 63 bucks for 2 rubber bump stops that probable only took 2 dollars to make is ridiculous....
