I did a 2.5 inch lift on the rear of a 99 XJ se. I was wondering wich bump stops to get. Either 4.1" or 2.9" Rear-End Axle Snubber for 87-01 Jeep® Cherokee XJ (Bump Stop)?

I don't know if the parts are measured as 4.1 or 2.9 inches ABOVE what is stock or if its a total measurement.

Which do you suggest? I will probably do home-made front bump-stops but might buy the rear.

depends on a lot of different stuff like tires, shock size. flex it out a measure it. dont forget to add a little for the bumpstops compression

buy the 4 inch ones then do as said above and measure the gap and put a spacer in to make up for it

Depending on your tires, you might not need to extend your bump stops. The amount you extend your bump stops has no relation to how much you lift.

You have to measure. That's the best way.

I have 3" in the rear with the 4.1" extended bumpstops on 245/75R16 tires on Moabs with 1"spacers. In the rear we cut and folded the rear quarter up to the flare line and I barely rub enough on the pinch seam that I will pop the flares off, but don't slice the tires. In the front, we added 2 hockeypucks in the front and its perfect

On a related note, the rear bumpstops from a 4WD MJ are the longest, stock style, bolt-on bumpstops I've found. I picked up a set at the JY, but I was in AZ where the JY rigs are largely rust free.
