I have the front with about 3-3.5 inches of lift up front. I wouldnt want musch less lift if I was going to use the bumpstop. What does mild lift mean?

2 - 2.5 ". I was wondering if they were better for off road than the stockers.

U do not have enough lift to use the teraflex bump stops, ur bump stops will be resting on the pad at ride height.

The general rule of thumb seems to be:
ext bumpstop height = lift height

Then you need to factor in stock flares vs flats, tire height, tire width and wheel backspacing (will the tires tuck inside the flares, or hit the outside lip), disconnected or not, etc. Your best bet is to go ahead and install 1 set of front bumpstops with the lift, since they go inside the coils. The rears you can add any time.

Bumpstops don't provide better flex. They keep your tires from ripping the flares off, and keep the coils and/or shocks from over-compressing.

X2... I know most kits come with them, with reasoning behind it. With that being said, if you've got them and the rig is apart, you might as well install them...
