Default Bump stops

I have a jku with 35s 3 inch suspension lift, 1 3/4 Teraflex spacers and body lift. When me and a jeep buddy I met on here installed my suspension lift he told me he didn't use bump stops and that we didnt need to Install them or even keep the stock ones because it would limit my articulation. Is this true and what pros or cons are there to not running any?

You might be fine...just make sure your coil springs do not collapse onto them selfs when you fully flex. There should be some gap between the spring coils.

You should run bumpstops. By not running them you're shortening the life of your coils & shocks
