Ok so first. I'm installing me 3" lift and was wondering do I need a bigger bump stop up front? One is gone completely and the other is real bad looking. Second is my speedometer. Any idea how far it will be off with 31" tires? I have no idea of my gearing just looking for an idea if anyone knows. Thanks fellas

Just a though and I maybe wrong, if you ask my wife that is, if you go with a bigger stop it would limit the amount of travel. If so why if it?

Mike5368 - You should be fine for the street, but you'll probably need to add bumpstops or trim a little if you're going to be doing any wheeling.
