i think RCD discontinued em, nit too sure on that. truetravel makes a long travelnkit that yiu convert to coils with, so thats also an option! iirc @RockRanger did a coil conversion on his 01 X, so perhaps he can share about how he did it!

I think I bought the front Timbren bump stops, I know I have the rears. I wasn't sure if the front could help given the tight space where the bump stops are. The coil over shocks look like the best option, but it does take some welding for the shock towers etc.

I burned my coilovers stuff in diy, also need to weld in some limit strap holders. Intimidating yes, but a mobile welder guy could be hired for that if you are scared
