Default Is this decent flex?

I have a three inch lift with 31's no cut fenders and rear sway bar still in.

Wrong sport. You want hockey pucks

Save up for some adjustable aftermarket arms.

Some people drill and tap a hole into the lower coil bucket. I used Liquid Nails, but I'm on my bumpstops so much, I have to redo them every time I go out. Next time I have my coils off I'm bolting them in.

Not bad!!

Use shoo goo liberally after you clean the area and scuff the puck surface.

I was thinking Gorilla Glue for when I do mine. That **** holds anything together.

12" circumference softballs and hockey pucks. I used gorilla glue and had the same thing happen, I need to re do them every time I go out.

Hmm, so maybe then bolting them together is the best option?

I'd say so, or sleeving the bumpstop tower with a longer piece of tube.

I drilled and bolted my pucks in. Now I don't have to worry about them.

The problem you run into with sleeving the bumpstop tower is that it will go into the spring under droop and catch. This is why its best to bump stop from the bottom plate.
