Bump stops on a LCG build?
I really like the idea of a low center of gravity build. I'm not looking to go huge on it. Maybe 185/75/16 (33"), but with a 3" lift. I know that means cutting some sheet metal and bump stops. But, this is a double duty rig, not a trailer queen. I don't want big hard bump stops that feel like you crashed when they bottom out and touch the axle. I'd appreciate some advice.

I plan on doing jks acos pro for the front of my build. I haven't decided on what I'm gonna do in the rear.

Bump stops actually help you believe it or not. I cut mine once and it was the worse thing ive ever done to my jeep. Had the coils fall out on a trail

^^^ Yeah bump stops are always necessary, they absorb necessary pressures.

Short of air bumps you have to stick to the oem style for the most part.
In the front I have oem bumps with hockey pucks stacked on the bottom. Sure, kinda ghetto but works good. Attachment 281593 In the rear I have the Dirtbound bumpstops plates and "progressive" bumps. These are awesome. The stop is mellow, I can hardly tell when I hit the stop. Attachment 281594 |

Thanks. That rear bump sounds good. I see its mounted on the spring. Does it contact the top one, or it the top removed and it contacts the frame?
