i get the bumpstops and trust me its on the list of things to buy but what is most important as or right now is to get this ass end bounce to stop cause all i get while on the highway it like loads almost like a dirtbike when you seat bounce a double and then it discharges and like the ass end can some times get off the ground and like step out sideways. not great when you add the potential off rollover

New shocks will fix the bounce issue but unless you protect them with longer bumpstops you will just kill the new shocks as well and have the bounce come back. I am just sugesting that you do both, not sugesting that the bumps will stop the bounce without the shocks.

yes no problem on the picture unfortunately i cant do the pictures yet but i will in the morning. for the bump stops what do you recommend that wont wear out fast. i cant break the bank on these and for shocks what do you guys recommend i want this jeep to be trail ready and flex well but most of my time is spent on road, unfortunately i wish i had trails to play on but everywhere around here cause a not so friendly exchange with the cops.

If you have the cash the TF's are great. Watch their youtube vid of the prerunner system and you will get some good footage of them in action.

Ditto. Couldn't have said it better.

I have a 4.5" BDS and upgraded to the Fox shocks. My only bounce was my initially over inflated tires at 37 on 35's... I'm at 28ish and the ride is fantastic.

As far as monetary options, cheapest is start with the tire pressure, then move to shocks as mentioned....
