I understand no air bumps or such, I guess. But you really need some kind of bumpstop, even stock vehicles have them, to prevent shock damage. I would say prothane's then.

Nice! A newb question tho. It's 19" from top mount to bottom mount. My shocks are 23" fully extended and 12" compressed. I'm buying the bilsteins with reservoirs. If I replace both my top oem bump stops and add bottom bumps stops in front as well what lengths should the top and bottom bump stops be?
thats like saying "i know im gonna break u joints running 35s on my stock dana 30, so i'll just keep throwing junkyard shafts in there"

wtf kind of logic is that? why keep buying something that you know is going to break when you can spend a little extra money on something that will hold out longer and perform 100x better?

Find his other thread about ring and pinions. He is jumping this rig on stock suspension and nothing is done to the axle as far as a truss or anything to beef it up. Doesn't sound like he is going to take the money dedicated to do it all correctly at once-read this thread- so why spend "waste" the money on a part you are going to keep replacing.
