When I looked at it for my 3.5", everything suggested 4.5" and up. I think this is due to clearance issues when the suspension is compressed. So, as I understand it, you need more bump stop limit to prevent crashing the draglink into something, which would be limiting up travel to not so great in less than 4.5".

BTW, if you're settled on a make of suspension, give them a call and discuss it with them. Metalcloak folks seem to have knowledgeable reps on the phone.

yes it might help if you have bumpsteer just make sure you have enough bumpstop...other wise your drag link and frame can become acquainted in a bad way. cycle your suspension to be sure..you can also notch your frame.
