How many bump stop spacers did you run up front? My installer put 2 in. With the comically long bump stops on the XR, I’ll bet I could get away with none.

interested if anyone else has an XR with this lift and what they’re using.

I used one. I measured and I think that is the minimum you need to avoid bottoming out on the shock. You need something more than the long bump stop because the lower shock relocation bracket moves it up an inch or so from the stock location. I am interested to hear others experience since I went strictly by measuring.

You running rocksports?

BTW, if you're at EJS, the CTI trailer is there this week. It was by the taco stand last year.

I’ve got the Rocksport blacks. Yesterday on poison spider, I maxed out my front axle flex, and lifted the front tire. I really wonder if one of the pucks out might be good because I still had room to stuff that tire more.

Nice. I'd stuff it and check how much shaft is still showing. If you have stock fenders, you might get into the upper liners dropping to 1" (for a total of 2 3/8" bump extension from standard stock).

And I just got back from EJS. Going back down Friday AM, and plan to see the MetalCloak folks. They are there starting today.
