Default Bump stop help

Putting on my lift and tires on Thursday and still haven't gotten bump stops. Need to order them today. I will be running a 2.5 inch lift, 35X12.0 Trail Grapplers, and 1.5 inch backspacers on stock 18's. Keeping the stock fenders for now. What size bump stops should I get?

Save yourself future cost and just get adjustable bump stops. Before you put the coils in, cycle the suspension and dial in how much you need. I'd guess around 4", but maybe you could get away with 3".

That seems like a lot of bump stop for 35" tires. You should be good with 2 to 2.5" bump stops.

Only way to know is to cycle the suspension and check for shock bottoming and flare contact.

Depending on shock length, but I would probably do 2" Front and Rear bumpstops.
