how to figure out appropriate amount of bumpstop
so i just got my new 35" km2s under my cherokee
and now im working on figuring out the appropriate amount of bumpstop
looking at these for the fronts.
not quite sure on the rear.
but hoping for something progressive. so that its got some give.
but as far as figuring out how much i need what would be the preferred method?
i would think to go out and jack up the front of the vehicle
place jackstands under the frame and let the axle droop.
then jack up each end of the axle separately
measuring the minimum distance between the bottom of the coil bucket to the tip of the stock bumpstops, with the tire able to turn from lock to lock without rubbing.
and then pretty much the same in the rear measuring the minumum distance from the leaf spring plate to the stock bumpstops, with the tires not rubbing.
if someone knows of a thread that goes over this that would be helpful.
and any links to recommended bump stops would also be helpful.
thanks
