hey guys, so my XJ has a three inch lift and i was able to get my hands on a set of 33s and wheels with backspacing that will clear and I already have trimmed fenders, and i love the look of a 3 inch and 33s so my question is about bumpstopping,just wondering if there was a certain length anyone recommended or a brand that anyone has used and likes. This would be the first time I've ever done anything with bumpstops so any advice would be appreciated!

Looks great 
Bump stops depend solely on your tire to fender clearance, tire/size you're running, and wheel setup (backspace/width/tire size on it). Since everyone is running different tires and trimmed different; what worked for one wouldn't work for another.
In the rear I made a 1.25" bumps stop spacers (using this method), Crown 4.1" bump stops, and used creepyfab bumpstop leaf spring plates (ebay seller).
Up front I'm using hockey pucks and 3/8" bolts. I drilled and tapped into the coil buckets. Then I used a 1" spade bit to countersink the bolt head. Not pictured, but I put a 1" metal cap to cover everything.

Maybe not the original bubba, been called a lot of names through the years.
May not be LCOG, I'll check Wikipedia to get the specs on that.
Doesn't feel top heavy, except that one time it was on its side..
Not sure what direction going in the axles, looking into D60, or ? But money is usually tight so I put the chrome in these, of course I already busted those, which is why I'm putting another set in now., money tight so glad those axles carry a ten year warranty..

Most of us are 3.75" or lower and running 35's and bigger tires.
Kinda neat but your concept of lcog is wrong period take 5" out of the lift then come back.
