So today I tried to cycle the front suspension to set bump stops and see what shock I'm best off going with.
As of this morning, I have no bump stop extension with a 3.5" lift installed. After my most recent wheeling trip, I realized I had enough rubbing to damage my front fender from the up travel.
The original plan was to add 2 hockey pucks bolted into the spring pad with a 1/2-13 bolt in case I needed to go with the Currie setup.
After realizing the jounce bumper does very little in terms of stopping up travel, I needed to add more. About 1.5 inches more the way I see it.
Here is where I need the up travel to stop and how much shock shaft I would have showing when that happens. It seems like quite a bit and something I could stop with a spacer on the top of the shock under the mount.
What are you guys using as a spacer on top to maximize shock travel? Or am I better off going with the longer version?
These are the measurements of the shocks and mount:
