had a question about what kind/ height bumpstops to use after a lift.
just looking for a flexible poly bumpstop, nothing fancy, just a screw in replacement
i put a 4 inch lift on my truck using the jd kit- so ill have to drill a new hole in the frame for the front bumpstops.
before i get involved, i wanted to know if i should scale the height of the new bumpstops to the suspension lift. example- i lifted the truck four inches, increase height of bumpstops by four inches
seems to me like that would be the most logical but then it would defeat the purpose of having more suspension travel.
i was thinking that since the old stops are about 2 inched tall, i should get a set that are three inches tall. that way, i increase suspension travel without risking stressing angles or brake lines with extreme flex.
cheers
