Have been trying to purchase a set of Hopper Stoppers for my truck but no luck so far due to them not been available for the '03's. Here FYI are the last two last emails I received from the company:<br><br><br>Here is the canned answer from the manufacture:<br>Unfortunately not yet. We acquired this business end of 2001 and our engineer is working to not only make them work for the 2003 Chevy's and Dodge's <br>Some one in your user group probably knows if there was a suspension change between 2002 and 2003, I suspect that the 2002 will fit.<br><br>After the above email I told them that the '03's were different. So then received the following;<br><br>Here is an update from the manufacture:<br>We do not fit the 2003 Dodge's.<br>The bracket is &quot;over&quot; the leaf spring rather than &quot;under&quot; it.<br>Also, the bracket is welded onto the frame making replacement difficult.<br>If you want to burn off the bracket and drill some holes, then bolt-on a bracket that we are releasing in 6-10 weeks we can get one to work but we do not know how you feel about burning off the current bracket. The manufactures of trucks do not like welding on the frame (unless they do it).<br>I'm sure the bracket will work but Lord can not take responsibility for any damage to the frame during installation or due to road inputs.<br><br> James H.

Hey Mexstan,<br>Sorry this is not an anwer, but a question. Who makes the hopper stoppers or where on-line can i find a vendor? I did a search on google and found out that there are a lot of links for hopper stoppers that sell either A) a set of high pitch thingys that you mount to your vehicle to ward off kangaroos (sold in Australia, back home we used to call them deer whistles) or B) an insecticide to ward off grass hoppers. I am assuming the devices you are refering to are to ward off axle hop, is this the case?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Rob<br>

 

What are hopper stoppers?

 

Go to www.drivetrain.com/velvetride.html to find out what they are and where to get them.

 

Thanks man. If I had the money, I might just get those. My truck hops around all over the place.
