Default f&r extended bumpstops

Im fitting 35s on my 3.5 lift and am basically looking for the longest bumpstops i can find so that i can cut to custom length. Better too long than too short ya know? Iv found a rear bumpstop that's factory look and 4.1in long but don't know how much longer that is from factory. Also, for the front im not looking to put in pucks. Would like to just buy extended fronts that i can screw on where the stock ones go. Im sure some people on here have been through this before. Anyone know where to get them?

Prothane coil spring inserts from Jegs or amazon. For the rear you will probably want to build a tower on the u bolt plate or the axle tube to hit the bumpstop, you won't hit it on 35's and that Little up travel.

That's exactly what I ordered, except for the prothane, I ordered Daystar extended bump stops.

Weld a bike peg onto axle and use stock or the 4.1 rear stops. I can always trim if needed

check this out. I used an extended bump stop from quadratic, I think it was around 4 inches. And I welded a piece if .25 in plate to the u bolt plates, for it to hit. This works with 33s. You may have to bolt a hockey puck in top of the plate for 35s.

i don't see the peg idea working as well. It's a tiny spot for the bump to hit, I'd be afraid of a. The bump sloping off if it, b. the bump ripping off when it slides off of it, and c. The fact that you have to weld it to your axle tube.
