Default Whats the best way to install front bumpstops?

Im going to install some daystar extended bumpstops and I was wondering how I would go about doing it? I have a 6.5" rustys long arm lift, not sure if that makes it any better or worse haha.

So any help on even how to start this would be appreciated.

You gotta get the springs out of the way, sorry.

im not super familiar with LA kits, but i would assume you would need to remove the coil spring to seat the bumpstop in the stock location....

grease er up and press it in with your jack, if it doesnt reach, add some 2x4 to the jack plate and pump away.

Remove shocks. Flex Jeep. Remove spring. Install stop. Reinstall spring. Reattach shock and repeat on the other side.

I add grease and put it in by hand...
