Any chance they left off the shorter bump stops?  Just a thought....

The 11-12 svtpp bump stops are the exact same as the FRPP ones. A thread was made about this how they looked exactly the same

Looks can be deceiving.

What would be the purpose of new ones then.... IDK?

So then how would they be different if they look exactly the same? And I forgot do you need those if you are installing FRPP springs or if you are installing FRPP shocks/struts?

The density of the foam material and should be used when installing FRPP springs. I'll throw another thing into the mix , Zombeast makes a jounce stop relocation bracket that centers the stop so that it mates up to the flat portion of the unibody frame rail instead of the rear angled section for a more direct contact . If you think that you are bottoming out on the stop you can put a dab of grease on the top of the jounce stop and take the car for a ride and then come back and see if the grease spot gets onto the frame rail indicating contact.

Ok well they are only 25 dollars from ford racing. I guess it wouldn't hurt to get them as well.

The relocation brackets add about 1/2" to the height of the bumpstop, thus changing the setup slightly. Do the FRPP bumpstops need to be trimmed with the brackets?



And what needs to be done to swap the front bumpstops?

Changing rear bump stops involves removing 2 screws, at least that's what I remember from last time I looked at mine. Pretty easy operation.

All I did to mine after lowering is to trim off the top mushroom cap just to prevent bottoming out. I don't think it was tho.

The relocate bracket isn't a 1/2" thick and you gain distance because it now is positioned under the flat area not on the slope. As far as the fronts go you will have to take apart the strut assembly in order to slide it onto the strut shaft.

If you read what is written in your referral you will find that some tech at some shop told some dude in Sacramento that wrote a review for A/M that he already had jounce stops and then A/M posted the review and put into the description that they come on 2012-2013 GT500 and then gave the dude a discount towards his next purchase because he submitted a review for them.  If you want to research the product then call FRPP and talk to a tech to find out for sure and get the info straight from the horses mouth. The A/M picture does show the use of the relocate bracket being used.

GREAT - THANKS FOR CONFIRMING THAT THE M-5570-A IS THE PROPER THING TO RECOMMEND TO MICHEALGOODWIN FOR HIS 2011BASE MODEL GT500 AND THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 2011 TO THE 2012-2013 . IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU svt13.

calm down there buddy. You're right about most things. This time you just happened to be wrong and someone else and other people wonder about this stuff and would end up paying money and instaling not needed parts on their car.

[Albino500]

So you're telling me that the 2011 is the same as the 2012-2013 or are you not ? Hey if I'm wrong about that I'm wrong - OK - if the 2007-2011 is different then the 20012-2013 then agree with the recommendation to MICHEAL GOODWIN to install them with the lowering springs on his 2011.
