I had my MetalCloak 3.5 lift installed. He used 3 Bump Stops upfront, and did not remove my previous Falcon Progressive Bump Stops uptop. As you can see, there is not much of a gap, and I suspect it will bottom out too soon. What are your thoughts on this? What is everyones else running with this lift? What is the best way to figure out the bump stop height needed.

Thanks for any input!

Jack up one of your back wheels until the opposite front bump hits/compresses. Turn wheels back and forth and check clearances. Repeat with the other side. Backing up a ramp or using a forklift is even better/safer. I'm guessing you could remove a puck. If that's a Rubicon make sure your sway bar is disconnected.

I've got 3 in front and 2 in back. 37" nitto's. I've had it up on ramps to flex it out and everything clears by just a smig. I've seen a couple guys run 3&3 and honestly flex is just about the same. Your good either way.

I have 3 and 3 with 37s. Used to only have 2 in the back but I nearly ripped my passenger rear fender off after bottoming out hard on some woops.

I've got 3" of bump stop spacers all around. I've got 38x13.5 pat's that are nearer to true size at about 37.5". I also chopped all 4 fenders and have high tuck liners.
