JL Bump Stop Question

[JRabbit]

Hey guys, what height bump stops are you guys running on a JLU Rubicon with a 2.5" lift and 37's?

Bump stops have nothing to do with lift height. If they are properly set up they serve 1 of 2 purposes. Either keep the tires from rubbing or keep the shocks from bottoming out. Our 2022 XR needed another 1" up front and 2" out back when we went to 39s and that's on top of the already extended bump stops. On the bright side I'll be able to fit a longer shock now with the extra bump. Simple answer assuming stock fenders is 1.5-2" should allow you to clear 37s. 2" is what we ran on our 2019 on 37s with only a slight rub on the rear plastic where it bumps out. Ended up just trimming that part of the liner off.

I'm running 37" KO2's with 2.5" Teraflex lift springs on my '22 JLURXR. Had Teraflex progressive bumps installed with the springs- they're 1.5" longer than the hard factory stops, but compress smoothly and nicely when needed and are the perfect fit for max articulation without any rubbing at full stuff for me.

Thanks guys, I know I will need just a little more than the 35 kit has to keep the 37's from rubbing but didn't know how much. And I figured you guys might know beforehand so I could order them with a good base line.

Yeah I am going to order a set of Bilstein's for 2-4" lift, she doesn't do anything crazy in her Jeep just mild stuff. Now my ZJ on the other hand, I beat the crap out of it lol.
