Default Bumpstops - school me

This is what I am working with now:

How does this setup look to you guys, correct? Installing bushwacker flats right now so I am trying to get the most flex that I can. Just curious to hear opinions since I have the truck up on stands now and would like to get everything that needs to be done finished this week.

Also, I am missing the yellow upper stopper on the opposite side, anybody know where I can get one?

Thanks in advance. Seems like a simple system but I am unsure to what kind of setup I should be running. Lift details are in my sig.

Dunno about replacing the rubber part itself, but as for the bump stops, generally an inch of BS for every inch of lift.

But the amount of bump stop is relative to the size of your tires. Additionally wheel backspacing and fender trimming have a large determining effect.

If your tires stuff too much or shocks bottom out, add more bumpstop, if your tires dont stuff much and you still have shock travel left, remove bumpstop. With 33s you usually dont need much.

it takes fine tuning. rarely will you get it right the first try. thats why i made these. easier to adjust. (The original ones were way too long, so i added a longer rubber upper stop and shortened the axle ones.)
