I know what bumpstops are. I was actually making the point that extended bumpstops were a must for a lowcog build.

Like i said earler, when you add full widths, it changes your cog. But if you have 35's like your sig says, I wouldent say that your low cog right now. Thats a pretty standard setup. I wana see pics when you put the full widths and 39.5's! Thats gona be sick.

Edit/ Loled at you saying 5.5 on 35's is a pretty standard setup. What do you think 33's and 3" is super special?
Yeah?
Well, I lowered ny truck 3". And I got double width axles.
And my tires are SOOOOO big, if i flip over, Im still ok, cuz my tires reach above my roofline.
So I win!

Width. Go look at JKL's build on JF or Pirate. Check out POSxj's build on here. Those are LCOG builds. LCOG takes more than trimming your fenders and throwing 33's on.

And since 5.5 and 35's isnt "Standard", what would the standard tire size for 5.5 be?
There is a difference between "LCOG" type builds and having a low center of gravity and that's all we're arguing over here, which coincidentally, does nothing to help the OP.
Yes, a 3" lift on 31's will technically have a lower center of gravity then a 3" rig on 37's and full widths. But only one of them is a "LCOG" rig.

Go post your "LCOG" jeep on pirate4x4. They will agree with you no doubt. Sorry your rig is not LCOG, everybody runs 3" and 33's.
