Default Rear bumpstops!!

I have a 99 cherokee with 35's and about 6" inthe front and a little less than 5.5" in the rear has long arms and rc relocation brackets on leaf springs and a whole lot of flex. I have new stock bumpstops in rear from when it was small but my tires stuff so bad in the rear they won't even spin sometimes. What are y'all running or do you know of anything better than just the 4" longer rubber bumpstops day star offers. I don't want rubbage in the rear

Simple. They sell plates that replace the u bolt clamp and sticks out so that it adds 2" to your rear bumpstops

You could get 1"x1" box steel and cut it to fit to extend your stock bumpstop. But the spring plate idea is great, too.

This idea is good, just have to find longer bolts

They are. I got the 3/8" ones not the 1/4" ones and they get a beating for sure with NYC potholes
