Measure the distance of your jeep's body to your tire and do some enough trimming to prevent it from rubbing....

I think by the time you lift and your tires, the stock bumpstops are too short. They are typically 3 inchs and to replace them there are 4 inch oem style that are actually cheaper than the 3 inch ones but before you buy, Flex it and measure the distance to see if that will be enough and you have to think that they will compress some so if one inch is all you really need, then add washers or something to the 4 inch. I am copying a design for the rear by jks and another company. A plate on top of the spring pack extended out towards the diff that will hit the bump stops earlier like 3 inchs by themselves and then spacers on the hitting side for adjustments.
