I currently have a 2 door with 2.5" teraflex coil lift with shock extensions. I was wondering if I can run no bumpstops extensions with my fenders trimmed? I have heard of people doing this but I am thinking my stock rubi shock with the extensions would bottom out Any help would be great

I believe you can use stock bumpstops if you have flat fenders. It doesnt really hurt to try either way though

Oh, i didnt read about the shock extensions. Yes you will need bump stops extensions to prevent shock damage.

The best way to get the most travel is to flex it out till you lift a tire... then match your bump stop height to hit just before the shock bottoms out (on the stuffed tire side)
