So who has some time to help me out figure how much more bump stop I need front and rear? I am lacking I think at least 2" if not 4".

Were you going to trim your fenders? I cant remember. My kit came with 2" stops front and rear to clear 35's but that was for uncut fenders. Best way is to twist it up and actually measure the gap. Dont include the foam thing in the measurement though. Measure from the lower bump to the upper while its twisted. If youve got access to a shop lift or a forklift that will hold the weight of the Jeep you can pull the springs and flex it out with a jack. I just went out in a field and flexed it till it was stuffed/rubbing caddy corner and measured for my bumpstop extensions. I ended up with 4". The only rub I have now is on the frame when turning and thats steering-bumps/backspace to fix that.

Hmm. Yeah that's what I figured I would have to do. I also have to check to see where my shocks are at when fully flexed to see how close they are to bottoming out or not. Now just to find the time to go flex it out and measure. Lol.
