[ Can you actually make them? or can you buy a high bump stop rubber? ]

Modify the axle tubes by adding the bracket from the standard diff housing. The L34 and A9X used the same size rubber bump stop as a normal LH/LX. A metal tube was welded in to raise the height of the bump stop mount over that of the standard.

I was asking if u can buy a higher bump stop rubber. 

 

If i put a set of air bags in the rear, would that illuminate the rear from bottoming out?

Easiest way is to cut the top of the bump stop off, get some 2 inch steam pipe or thick wall tube, roughly 2 inch diameter weld the top to it and join to the diff in the same location. memory says they are 75mm long. There is a picture of one if you look in my garage under A9X 4 door, the garage icon under my Avatar. page 3.
