The way I always set up bump stops is to jack up the front wheel on one side until it is about an inch from stuffing the tire into the fender then measure from the bump stop to the landing pad. That is the how much longer your bump stop needs to be. If the measurement is say 3.75 inches that is how much taller the bump stops for the front need to be. Just do the same for the rear and you have the correct bump stops for your lift and tire combo.

I suppose at this point a mention of hockey pucks being about 1" thick each and really cheap has potential for a pro vs con runaway thread discussion. I bolted in pucks on the lower platform inside the coil spring, The stock rubber bumpers contacts these, been in there about 100000km. I stacked 3 with a little roof tar as glue in between and 5/16 gr. 8 bolt thru center drilled holes.
