best bump stops for setup
Hello,
I got the 3.5 Mid Arm Flex from Rock Krawler with RC 2.2 shocks and wondering what would be the best bump stops and size for this setup?

Is the lift already installed? What is the 'actual' lift height? Do you have flats or chopped flares? What size tires?
General rule of thumb, per the FAQ's, is extended bumpstop = lift height.
Those shocks have integrated stops to prevent over-compression, so it is only the uptravel you need to worry about. If you have flats, I'd guess you could run without ext stops. If the fenders are stock, (and if the lift is already on?) disconnect and flex to get an idea of what you need. If the lift is not on, I would personally start with a 2" extension and some trimming. I'm just not a fan of big bump stops to limit the travel you gained with the lift.
From the pic & kit description, you'll also want to consider rear brake lines or at least ext brackets.
