i ran those with as big a plate as possible up top in place of the rubber stock bumpstop and it still cracked and chunked apart after a couple wheeling runs.

it was a waste of money for me.

This is what I did for mine. '97 model siting at 4.5" / 32's / stock flares. No rubbing anywhere. It's a mitered piece of 2x2x0.188 tubing ~ 4.5" Lg, capped with 0.125" plates and welded to my factory leaf retainer plates. My shocks are from my previous 3" lift, I will further exploit my down travel with new shocks once I build upper eyelet mounts for the front and raise my rear lower mounts.

Witch extended bumpstop is that the daystar

Ya; these...

Seems like they are too close though

not a bad idea at all, but im wonder when i swap out to my dana 44 it should make a difference right?

Not unless your planning on moving the leaf mounting location...

i was thinking about putting a relocation bracket to change my shackle angel....will that make a difference?

How do hockey pucks work up front?

i heard they work really good, but not something im interested in doing

no, I can't see how. If you're using the factory leaf mount locations on the body; the retainers plate, relative to the body, won't move. run with it.

i made adjustable stops on the axle and added an aluminum spacer and extended rubber stop (extended rubber stop was not installed in this pic)
