Yeah you want the extended bumpstops. It will help prevent the tires from messing up your fenders or getting shredded by the sheetmetal.

i used hockey pucks up front and bought some extended bumpstops for the rear. i went to "play it again sports" for hockey pucks and the dude gave me free ones that had their logo on them. i glued 2 together for each side which gave me 2 inches on each side of extra bumpstop.

think about it - you're going with a taller spring....and taller tires over stock...your tires will eventually hit fender/sheetmetal before anything else in your suspension stops it....

I did the hockey puck method as well, I could knock the front flares off with the 32s, put in a couple pucks on each side and the flares are still on it. Thsi is without trimming, if you want to not bumpstop as much, your going to have to trim. You still need to bumpstop, but you will get better travel. Some people care, some don't.

Because your wheels will still be able to travel up high enough to hit the sheetmetal if you don't limit them with bumpstops.
