Nice stance! Did you by any chance measure how much actual suspension lift did you get front and rear?

I did not. General consensus is about 2.5+ in the rear. If you search the forum for "BDS" you will get some good answers and details pertaining to these springs. I am shocked at how nice it rides with the springs/shocks.
@CodaMan and @Chris ,
How critical are the bump stops in this setup?
@Chris, you did not include the bump stops in the parts list in your post, "A recipe for an affordable but quality 2.5" lift", in which you give @CodaMan credit for the setup. However, @Chris, in your post, "A Beginners Guide to Lifting Your Jeep Wrangler TJ", it clearly states that bump stops are required for a 2" lift.
Lastly, if the bump stops are a must, do either of you have any suggestions other than the Rock Krawers? I can find the 1-3" lift kit in stock anywhere. The 3-5" kit is available and it would work except that it only has the bolts for the 3", 4" and 5" stacks.
Thanks!

You need bump stop, it’s extremely critical. Most of us just use hockey pucks or similar for the bump stops. No one can tell you how much bump stop you need as it varies from vehicle to vehicle. That’s why you have to cycle the suspension in order to find out how much you need.

I got a package of 12 for alittle over a buck apiece, and only used 10. I had a harder time finding replacement jounce bumpers. All 4 were shot.
I’m looking at this similar setup on a stock 02. If I’m understanding correctly, this shock/spring combo will let me run up to 31s, no body lift, no t-case drop. If that’s correct, my last question is do/should I get the front and rear adjustable track bars or are they also not required at this hight?
Well......the Pro Comp 55298 rear springs are no longer available. I'm looking for some suggestions. The Pro Comp front springs are still available almost everywhere. Would there be any issues with going with them and then another 2" spring for the rear?
Thanks
Thanks
What are your shock lengths at ride height? I'm trying to figure out which rancho rs5000x to get. If my measurements are correct, my front shock length at ride height is 19" and rear is 18". I have 2" springs + spacer up front.

After not being on for sometime, I'm back. Moved cross country and have been really busy. I did do a couple things to the Rubicon... Replaced the clutch, all the O2 sensors, all 3 cats and added a 1.25" BL and a 1" MML in preparation for a tummy tuck.
Here's a gratuitous pic of my Rubicon and my new place.

WTH?! That doesn’t fit the formula.
hahaha. You know better than anyone that the mods never end.
And when you see the light at the end of the tunnel for one rig, just buy two more that are still in the darkness.
