Cheers, I did not look into detail but I will check.
I will also check lift height compared to the stock quoted figures on IRO's website for instance.
There's a Jeepforum discussion saying that more downtravel than the standard shocks allow will unseat the springs. Certainly not true on my car, in the rear at least.
Jason, many thanks for the measurements, I couldn't find anything for the 4600 series Bilstein.
I have bottomed out the suspension on the road, fully loaded with passengers, luggage and a roof box. So I have to do my homework carefully.
There's also the argument that 2 inch lifts with longer shocks don't mention anything about extended bump stops...
