prevents the axle from traveling any farther upward. ie: it is a way to keep the tires from going up into the fender to far

when your fenders eat your tires. some of these tires cost too much money to have your jeep eat them when flexing, especially when bumpstopping is an easy prevention of this.

okay thank you, i have a 6.5 lift with 33s.. i have no rub at all, i just don't know how far i can stuff them before i break some thing, right now my stops are like 4" long.
Tire rub is a big reason for BS but they are also useful for stopping the shock from bottoming out.The leaf springs from reversing. The coils from binding etc etc.
Any time you mod you steering/suspension you should flex her out and inspect for any binding. That includes drive shafts. For some reason an they are often overlooked.
