I have the DPG ones. They look exactly the same, but without the ability to stack plates for more bumpstop.

They may look the same...

but I wouldn't want to stack another one on there...

There overkill thick.

If you needed more...

I'd extend/space the uppers or buy a longer (4" ?) version.

In the front I have 3" aluminum ORGS MFG. bumpstops at the axle and 2" Daystar bumpstops at the spring tower.
In the rear I made these to work with the stock bumpstops...

depends if you've done any cutting. just flex it out till it is as far as you want it to go then measure and see how much you need to add. i would guess around 2-5" depending if you have cut and just how much you have

A sawzall or one of many other cutting implements can be utilized and when more room than that will allow is needed, the inner fenders act as bumpstops... :laugh2:

Springs are too expensive for me to be repeatedly overcompressing them. Bumpstops are your friend.

thats when you take out the BFH and go to town on the inner

Can you explain this 'overcompression' concept???

Well with the rear, on a 4 door at least, the edge of the rear door opening is your limiting factor as to how much you can trim, that is unless you position the axle more rearward than stock. on the front, once you bend over that seam on the inner fender, there's a nice flat surface that closely matches the curvature of the tire and doesn't damage the tire upon contact if your backspacing allows you to stuff appropriately.

Seems to me that repeated overcompression would prematurely fatigue the springs. Overcompression being maximum compression, 'over' probably being a poor choice of words.

Pressure treated 4x4 in the front (cut to what ever length was best, can not remember)

Nothing in the back.

Not to mention bottoming out your shocks can damage them too.

Bumpstops are more about protecting your springs and shocks than they are keeping the tires off the fenders.

I used to be in that "who needs bumpstops?" crowd, when I was younger, and less experienced and didn't know any better.
