Bump stops help stop your tires from munching into your fenders when
the suspension compresses.
at speed this can happen too.
http://www.kartek.com/product/Suspen...BumpStops.html
So if your hauling A, and pretending your in the baja 1000,
you hit a small whoop/bump and catch a little air (I wouldn't recommend jumping a jeep)
When it lands it wont bottom out the tires.
I didn't know this when I first built, and could have possibly saved myself the trouble of hacking my fenders
lol
Check out this thread on some awesome advice about lifting/bumpstopping.
you don't have to go high in lift to get sick flex.

But from what I see you already have quite a capable rig for your area.
You may not need much more modding in the lift department.
Looks awesome!
Have fun!

Go 31s with your 3" lift. If you put 32s on you will have to cut you fenders and maybe get new flares too. Go slow and as you get better and money comes your 31s will be worn out and you can make a decision then.
