bump stop installation question
So i install my 2.5 kit yesterday and it didnt come whit bump stop. as i was reading the sticky tonight, it says that u need a bump stop extention as high as the kit. My question is: if the installation is complete, do i need to take it appart to install the bum stop or is there an other way, wich i hope...

That depends on the type of bump stop extension you buy/get, and how nimble you are with you hands.
If it's anything like the TF extensions, you might be able to get them in there. (note, the back won't require any removal anyway). However, some bump stop extensions require you to drill and bolt them to the spring perch, if that is the case you will most certainly have to remove your spring.

Yep, droop the front axle to expand the coil, and you may be able to fit the upper bumpstop through. (make an effort to drop it in the right direction) Then grease them up and try to pry them up into the cup. For the front lowers, you need to drill a hole and tap it, which may be somewhat difficult with the coils in place.
