I have the OME lift with HD front and rear. The kit does not come with bumpstops. I am getting ready for Moab this year and was wondering if I need bumpstops.

Anyone run this lift without bumpstops?

Problems of any kind?

 

The shocks limit the travel and serve as the bump stops.

 

No problems, unless you disconnect also.

Disconnected, I rub my 295/75/16 terra grapplers (right at 32" with current load and inflation) on both the upper fender and on the endcaps of my Rugged Ridge XHD.



For those with more experience than me: If I go with flat fenders, (and pull off the endcaps) is there a reason to do bump stops also?

 

I think you have answered my question. My concern is will I damage anything or rub anything other than the tires without the bumpstops, or would that damage the springs. I would think OME would include that in the kit if it was needed.

I do plan to disconnect. My brother in law is coming and his setup is the same as mine, but he runs 305/70/17, or about 34" tall tires.

If any of you are running OME with 34-35 tires with the stock fenders, any issues? A little rub is all good, fender flying off...bad

 

I have the ome hd kit with 35 in km2s. I have been wheelin twice , never disconnected. The first time I didn't experience much rubbing. The second time, at a less technical trail, I was rubbing front and back.

I don't know if it was because the springs weren't as stiff, but the bumpstop kit is a must before my next trip. The kit should be available from Northridge.

I hope this helps.

 

Yes we have plenty of bumpstops in stock.

And yes bumpstops stop the coils from over compresing and the shock from bottoming out.

I haven't been to Moab but from the pictures that I see I would go with longer bumpstops. Besides the hassel of putting them on, they are cheap and would be a great piece of mine for me. A broken sping can surre screw up a trip!

 

will not having the bump stops that came with the kit affect body roll or anything of that nature. i think im going to just loose the fronts if i dont need em.

 

Go flat fenders, or cut yours. This adds tons of space up front, good amount to the rear. I had to heavily "massage" my endcaps ( to the tune of about half of it) to make my 15X10 rims fit. Don't have the OME lift yet but my stock suspention and 33's tuck nicely into the cut fenders when disconnected. Now if the OME shocks have built in bump stops, you wont need to mess with new bump stops but i can't answer that for you. I would like to know myself though.

 

I am running OME HD kit, disconnected, no rubbing at all with orig bumpstops.
