Quick question, guys... Say I added another 2-3" of Spring lift to my YJ (mods in sig). Would I really need longer bumpstops for the axles?
Thanks!

Depends, how much do you like that body, and what size tire you gonna run?
I have about 5" of suspension lift with TJ flares and 33's with a factory offset rim and have no rubbing, also have no bumpstops at all! (fell off a while back) I have some extensions up for sale if interested.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I didn't think I needed longer ones, but most lift kits I see advise getting them  I hope to be adding 3" springs within a month or two. Now that school is almost out for the summer, I have time to work and play with the Jeep. |

If you don't rub now, you wont need bumpstops for more lift. Bumpstops are for when yopu don't have quite enough lift for your tires. Most 3 1/2" YJ lifts recommend the bumpstops for 33's. With 5-6" of lift I wouldn't think you'd need them at all unless you went with 36's.
Oh yeah, and this might be a no-brainer, but you'll need to lengthen the brake lines.

Thanks TC. The springs were installed about a month ago. Longer brake lines, of course. My YJ flexes really well, and with my narrow tires, I do not rub but completely stuff my 32's with the 3" springs, 1" Bodylift, and trimmed out rear fenders. |

I'll have to pass right now, John... I think I need to start saving for a clutch job.  |
