A bump stop system is designed for use in a vehicle suspension system featuring a shock assembly consisting of a shock shaft, shock can, and shock hat or shock eye. The system comprises a bump stop body configured to interact with the shock shaft and may include features such as grooves extending into the bump stop body, a composite structure of layered components, cast-in-place metal hardware for securing the bump stop, and a friction fit for placement. Additionally, the bump stop may be used with a coil spring, with the shock hat also functioning as a coil cup. The system may include an outer surface with a slit for fitting around the shock shaft, with hardware for closure. Methods for forming the bump stop involve processes such as pouring or injecting elastomeric mixtures, curing, and potential heating, with the option to serve as a spring assist and accommodate specific applications.
