FATMAT is about half that price. It supposedly smells for a few days after installation, but it goes away. Most people that use it seem to love it. I wish I had ordered some to try out.

Cheaper than that are roofing products, but I understand they smell pretty bad and have adhesion problems when it gets hot.

Your running the same setup as me. For bumpstops I used on the front 4 hockey pucks per side. For the rear im using dirtbound off road 4 1/4" bump stop and plate. Its still just barely too short so I need to put some rectangular tubing under it to make it a little taller.

For sure fender trimming is needed for 35s. Haha also my wheels have a 3.75 BS so that might be a bit differnt also. I dont know what yours are on your wheels. I could probly put one more puck on each side in the coils. I need to test it out some more once I fix the trani.
