Default bumpstop help?

have a 90 xj limited with a 2'' coil spring spacer and aftermarket coils.it may have around a 4.5'' or 5'' lift.the front bumpstop is about 5 1/2'' away from the coil spring pad where it is supposed to make contact.at full stuff the 33x12.5x15 tires do not contact the wheel wells anywhere,but the stock upper control arm hits the oil pan and actually cracked it.on the other side the front driveshaft hits the stock exhaust downpipe where it is flattened by the factory for such clearance.do i need to add spacers to my stops or am i overlooking something.btw my front diff is centered under the vehicle and not offset because of the lift.thanks in advance.

If the diff is centered and not offset then there's a problem. Is the track bar aftermarket or does it still have the stock one?

Are you using extended bumpstops or stock replacement?

not really sure.lift was on it when i bought it.guess i may have to just flex it again and see exactly where the stop is positioned just before contact with oil pan.probably have to get extensions if necessary.

Yeah I got extended stops from 4 wheel parts for 45 bucks cause my control arms were doing the same thing. And I've only got a 2bb.
