★ Original type rubber bumper for Dodge WC vehicles with leaf spring suspension front and rear.
Application
Suitable for Dodge WC-series 4x4 vehicles (½-ton and ¾-ton models) and 6x6 vehicles (1½-ton WC-62/WC-63). The Dodge WC-series used live beam axles on leaf springs front and rear. These bumpers were mounted to the frame to limit maximum suspension travel.
Installation notes
The rubber bumper mounts to the outside of the vertical frame rail, directly above the leaf spring. At full suspension compression, the axle makes contact with the rubber to stop further movement. Mounting is typically via a metal bracket riveted or bolted to the frame.
Compatibility
Fits the complete Dodge WC-series with leaf spring suspension: 4x4 models (WC-51, WC-52 and variants) and 6x6 models (WC-62, WC-63). Note: some models such as the WC-54 ambulance had modified suspension for a softer ride and may require different bumpers.
Historical context
The Dodge WC-series was produced from 1940 to 1945 and was, after the Jeep, the most common light military vehicle of the U.S. All models used robust leaf spring suspension with rubber bumpers to withstand extreme field loading.
