Bumpstops

[SlippinandSlidin]

Well guys, my lift goes on on the 13th, but I have a question to throw out there. Front and rear bumpstops. I have a 6.5" lift to put on, and I have 33x12.5R15s to put on. What size bumpstops do I need to get me close? Isn't it easier to put the bumpstops on when I'm installing the lift kit? I was going to get the adjustable rear bumpstops from Dirk at DPG. But wouldn't it be easier to get the fronts close to the right size while it's already apart. I plan on flexing it afterwards and I'm willing to trim the fenders. The stock flares are already gone. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

how much are you going to trim the fender? I had about 5" of lift with 33s on my MJ with the stock bumpstops and it was fine because I had the fenders cut.

I've got some extended rear bumpstops if you want them. About 3"

I'm not afraid to cut, I already figured I would have to. So you think my stock bumpstops will work if I trim?

Im running 8.5 inch and 35s, with BW and the stock bump stops are perfect.. Luck of the draw

The rear bump stops are easy to extend. Just get a piece of rectangular tubing, drill a few holes, and get some longer bolts.

I've got pix somewhere. I'll see if I can find them in a few minutes.
