Gearing up to do a small lift install. Bought a set of 2" JKS springs and some 0-2" lift monotube fox shocks (merry christmas to me). I think I've got the removal and installation of springs and shocks figured out thanks to some detailed threads here on the subject. I've also got access to a lift for an afternoon that should make it that much easier.
Where I'm getting a bit confused is the subject of bumpstops and extensions. Shocks have a compressed length of just over 12", and my understanding is that is shorter than the stock length that came on the jeep. I installed new Bilstein 4600 shocks a couple of years ago and refreshed the bumpstops while I was in there.
If my new shocks have a shorter compressed length than what I have on there now, am I going to need to extend my bumpstops to protect them? Normally I would just fire the parts cannon at it and buy them regardless of if they were needed or not, but it's that time of year and money is a bit tight...
Thanks
