Sheldon, you bought a long arm kit from Rebel offroad, yeah. What is the brand name ? Rock Krawler ? you mentioned long arms but not coils, are you changing height also? are you already lifted and just looking to go to long arms? if we knew which brand we would know weather this kit is a weld on or bolt on kit. also, I believe you mean BUMP STOPS not illegal bumpstocks. If you are installing air/hydro bump stops then you will need to remove the coil springs to install and might as well install when you do the long arms.

WOW! sounds like one hell of a kit! that for sure gonna require cutting, grinding and welding. I believe that unless you have a friend who can weld, you are much better off taking the kit to a shop to install. Might have to shop around to find a shop willing to install the Rebel offroad kit. There is quite abit of work there for both fronts and rear, so a shop with a lift rack would make life much easier. My only negative is 6" lift is rather steep... is that right, 6" of ride height or is that the length of the stroke for the coilovers? sorry for sooo many questions ?
