OME LT bump stops
What is the recommended bump stop spacer thickness for a 2dr V6 with OME LT shock absorbers. I have a set of Clayton nylon pads that bolt to the axle left over from a previous project. They are 3" at present and I was going to turn them down on a lathe to the correct length. They are to be used with the original foam pad chassis bump pads. I'll be running 35/12.50x17 KM2s on AEV Pintlers

Fitted with OME standard duty 615/617 springs which gives it about 2.5" over stock.
Standard flares, no body lift. It has got adjustable arms fitted so the rear axle is pretty centred and the pinion angles sorted. I've just removed an AEV 3.5 kit as it was to high and to harsh for my taste.
As a starting point I'd like to know what's required to stop the shocks bottoming. Clearing the body/flares/rubi rails I can work around.

To prevent the shocks from bottoming out in the front, you only need 1.25" extended bumpstops.
In the rear, I only needed 2.5" when running EVO rear shock relocation RockStars. In the stock shock bracket location, you might only need 1.5".
You will need 2.5" front and rear with stock flares and 35s.
If you are willing to run flat flares and do some trimming, you may be able to get by with the 1.25" front an 1.5" rear.
You will need rear coil retainers.
