Hello,

I have a baja bug with irs, short torsions, and cut down swing axle spring plates.

I have noticed that the tyres (both sides) have rubbed the paint of the inside of the wheel wells where they have been contacting. I dont think that this is a regular thing, but my club's last off roat event did include quite a bit of jumping.....

Can i help this situation by swapping from beetle bump stops to type 2 ones?

I believe that they are slightly taller - so would presumably provide some extra cushioning at the extremes of the suspension compression...

Does anyone know if they are a straight swap?

My tires rub and knock the fenders off if I jump it hard, and that's with 2x3 trailing arms and 30" tires.
Any bump stop would work if adjusted right.
I'd just leave it if you're not breaking fenders...

Yes, they are a direct swap. The "Kong" style snubbers from Buses are much stronger and bigger than Bug ones.
