Default Front Coil Spring Bump Stop

Just noticed I have no front coil spring bump stops on my jeep.

I have a 94 XJ with a 4.5 rubicon lift with 32" tires. I have trimmed the fenders and installed aftermarket fender flares.

Are front coil spring bump stops easy to install? How do you get it into the spring? Do they just screw on?

Any advise on length of the bump stop?

Thanks for you advice.

Do it the safe way, dont use a coil compressor:
unhook shocks from axle pads
undo lower control arm mounts from axle
take steering off pitman arm,
unhook the track bar.
drop axle down, pop in new bumpstops with a little bit of motor oil as a lube.
reverse process.
I ran the Daystar 2" extended stops with 4.5" and 32's and they were a perfect fit, stopped the tires right before contact.

I suggest you measure for bumpstops, then install. It is safe to assume you will need the Daystar extended stops. May need a couple hockey pucks to be safe. Buy the Daystar bump stops and a handful of hockey pucks. Then do the following:

Pull the front springs, cycle the suspension with the tires on, watch for point where tire impacts something, measure distance from bumpstop to lower mount point. Install hockey pucks to make up difference. Bam! Done. Should be able to knock out in an afternoon.
