Alright, you rowdy suns of guns, this sob is curious about somethin random: how big is the gap between your axle and rear bump stop and how much lift do you run?
Thank you- your all Adonis's!

I just ordered a pair of 4.5" bump stops from quadratech and I have a 6" lift with a rear dana44 not sure of the rest of the info though.

When I bought my jeep it only had one on the left side and it's a 4" stock I'm sure.

The reason I ask is because sitting on only a 2" BB. It seems like I have a very minimal amount of gap between my axle and bump stop. I have not yet measured the exact amount, but it seems like I can't extend them any more than they already are without fear of bouncing off of them when going down a bumpy road, not even when wheeling..

I guess I should really measure just to be sure.. So I'm gonna go do that right now, I'll report back in a minute..
