Default Bump stops?
I'm having the rock krawler 3.5" mid arm installed this weekend. I'm not sure if bump stops should be installed or if they are necessary. Advice would be appreciated

Shoot a pm to their Rep on here with the lift size, tire size you'll be running and if you have stock fenders or flat fenders and they can tell you what size BS you need.

the installer needs to cycle the suspension with the tires on and springs out to determine bumpstop height. no other way if u want "max" travel

This is the setup I'm doing. This is directly from rk website. Stock flares, bilstein 5100's, and 35" Goodyear duratracs.

I am going to be installing the same kit, but running 37s. I know it needs to be flexed out, but I will be running the teraflex 3" bump stops. Anybody have any thoughts on that?

I called rock krawler directly. The numbers on the website. They have techs dedicated to their products. You can't go wrong calling them just tell them your exact setup and go from there

Thanks man. I'm going to get those, a steering stabilizer, and a front drive shaft and then it should be complete. I'm thinking 600 bucks.
