Also flexed out my wonderful wife @TankGirl Sport with the new fenders and was able to replace the existing 3" rear bumpstops extensions with 1" in the rear. Looks like I may be able to remove the bumpstops entirely from the front, but that will come another day.... Also after seing the above pictures she now wants my old beadlocks and 37's :headbang:

What are you doing for front bumpstops. I tried flexing my jeep out like that with the 2.5 gamechanger lift and when I did the factory jounce bumpers did not line up with the bumpstops that came with my lift very well. My tire was into my front fender and the jounce bumper was sliding off on the side of my extended bumpstop. I'm not sure adding more bumpstop would help. I'm thinking I might be better off extending the jounce bumper side. What have you been doing? Here are some pics of mine.

Fixed the bumpstops on my spare tire carrier with some rubber chair tips from Lowe’s. I thought I’d need the hose too but ended up only needing the chair tips.

Looks great, I love metalcloak products!
I had similar issues with it sliding off to the side but it still stopped the Jeep one the foam stop bypassed it and the metal thay holds it in place hit the stop extension. I contemplated making some larger diameter bump stop extensions, but with the new fenders and current tire size I may be able to remove her bumpstop extensions completely in the front.

Mike....

..so I'm eating Chinese Food and I open a fortune cookie...

...lo and behold it reads: "Mike's next purchase is this..." with a web link here;)



The second fortune cookie read: "It is important to add a Wrangler to spot lights.";)

Considering it was 65 degrees today, I installed my Christmas present and went for a test drive! I can’t wait for summer now that I have this!

PS: You’ll have to ignore the blanket in the back seat...it’s what I use to cover the backseat when we take the dogs in the Jeep. :like:

@WhiteGold; you must be farther south than me! The past couple of weeks here in East Texas have been cold (at least by Texas standards)...so I was excited to see the warmer weather! Friday up here has a high of 46. :no:
