Default Bumpstops?

For some reason I haven't studied much on them and what they do. Could somebody fill me in briefly on them and how to measure for what size i would need? Also if I want to run a lcg setup like 3" and 33s with trimmed fenders what size would work good?

I would suggest you do some.research on the subject. In a nutshell they limit the amount of uptravel.

Flex out your jeep until your tires are just about to hit your fenders, see how much space is between your axle and current bumpstops, and boom you know how lonf your bumpstops need to be

Wouldn't you also need to take into consideration the amount of up travel your shock absorbers are allowed? Ive never looked into this much either so I could be wrong.
