well, that'll do it for sure. with the axle being pushed up like that, the bumpstops will squash more allowing more stuff and leverage the axle down more on the opposite side.

Yeah, that makes sense. I kinda thought his was an extreme case when he did it. I know Alex really loves to flex and hang tires

Here's a pic of my JK with a 1" BL on 33's no suspension lift yet...If you do a search there are write-ups on how to eliminate the bumper gap...

Alright I'm starting this back up, I have a 2010 2dr sport auto and I am looking at tfs 2.5'' lift either the one with shock adapters or getting the one with shocks. I want your guys opinions, I will be putting on 35x12.50 goodyear duratracs. I am not looking to buy anything else but the lift package. This being said what would you guys do in my position. Pics for examPles would help.
Thanks Trev

I've have a 3.5" RC with 35" tires I would stay with 4:88 min 5:13 would be better.

If you wanna put 35s on and have a great ride and stance I would say go the Teraflex 2.5 route. There was nothing that I couldnt do with this set up. Heres what mine looked like with the 2.5 BB and 35 MTRs,
