Stock bumpstops mounted on outside of framerail
Ive never seen anyone do rear bumpstops the way I did mine so I thought Id post up.
I just swapped in a rebuilt d44 and threw on some 35's. I realized pretty fast my rear with stock bumps wasnt gonna work to well. Most people simply add a spacer to the tops of their rear stock bumps, but I moved mine to the outside of the framerail so they hit right in the middle of the spring pad.
Stops it with about an inch left between the tire and rear quarter panel.

Keep an eye on your inner sidewalls, with your jeep that narrow it wouldn't take much to tear a tire up, I just did the same thing but it only uses the stock two bolts so no welding until I see how it holds up, if you were to turn it longways front to back it may clear up some room in there. You can kind of see it in this pic, I can get a better pic if you like.

I cycled the suspension a few times before I welded them up. It doesnt look like it in the picture but there's about 2 inches of space between the sidewall and edge of the metal. This Is as close as it gets, at full bump and full extension it's no where close. Originally I had it turned the other way, but it hits the u bolts rather then the spring pad and I didn't like that so I turned it the other way.
Love your jeep man, how do you like the portal axles?

Your not too far from me in frisco, I live in Henderson, lovin the mogs so far and I forgot about the ubolts with my wheelbase stretched it hits in front of the spring plate.
We need to hit barnwell mountain sometime, I know it very well and it's less than an hour for me.

Yeah I just made some bar pins for the front which gave me an extra 1-1.5 inches if droop, so I need to move the mounts down a bit lol
