Maybe it's just to early but I don't see your issue?

Default Issue ?

I'm guessing over compression of spring? Bump stops need to be extended if you're using the ones that came w/ 3" lift and then you added 1.75 spacers on top of that.

Ditto

I see the compression of the spring, but it looks like it might be articulated.

Sorry, I guess I should have provided more info. The issue is indeed the over compresion of the coil. In the pic the suspension is flexed and I am running both a 3" coil and a 1 3/4" spacer. I know that I need a taller bumpstop I just don't know what is available. Trying to pic some brains

Maybe a pic with no articulation. Not enough info there.

Default Bump Stops

I would try a place like Rusty's OffRoad or any other online source for builder/fabricator parts, or maybe McGyver something from Home Depot, Good Luck

1. Tell your wife you ruined it. Get new JK??
(No, wouldn't work with my wife either.)

2. Duct Tape?

3. A bunch of Rubberbands?

4. Taller bumpstops?

I know I'm of no help here. Just trying to get a smile....

Adjustable BumpStops from JKS

Adjustable BumpStops from JKS eliminate the guessing game of choosing the proper bump stop lengths for your application. This innovative solution utilizes a system of three interlocking billet aluminum spacers, each a different size.
The spacers can be used independently, or together, to ensure the proper bump stop clearance for any suspension lift and tire combination. Although supplied in three individual sizes, JKS Adjustable BumpStops actually provide six possible bump stop lengths: 0.75", 1.25", 2.00", 2.75", 3.25", and 4.00".
Installation of our Adjustable BumpStops is easy, and setting the desired length can be accomplished without removing the coil springs from the vehicle. This allows the user to conveniently adjust bump stop clearance as required by future changes to vehicle ride height and tire size.
