finally got some work done to my jeep, im no longer bottoming out my shocks, and my jeep is about 3 inches taller.:D

i copied crazyjim's idea for the rear bumpstops but i took a new spin on it. rather than attach the bumps to the axle i put them on the metal plate on top of the leaf springs. and up front i just got rid of the BPE's and poped in some coil spacers. sorry for not having picture im having problems with my phone. i'll have them ASAP.

Right on dude! Keep an eye on that metal plate if it's hanging over like I think it is. It will eventually bend.

were did you get your fronts from? how much lift you got now? how far in between the new ones in the back and the stockers? how tall are the poly bumps?

fronts are stock, i should be running 6.5 up front and 5 in the rear. uhhh i think theres a 2-3" gap and the bumps should compress a good inch or two. and hell if i know i think there 3" or 2.5"
