bumpstop help, collected a lift kit over time and wondering about installing 2.5in

[MidnightMods]

I have collected a almost completed lift kit, I was planning on going a 3-3.5in with a speedbump set up, but in the mean time I was giving a set of old man emu springs and shocks at 2.5in lift, I run a JKU crd, I will be holding off installing all 8 adjustable arms just yet, I just want to replace springs and shocks as the factory ones are rubbish and my rears are so sagged that it bottoms out on the road if I have 1-2 people in the back and a small bump on the road..


So will I need to run bigger bump stops if I put the 2.5in springs and shocks in?

Are they the OME LT shocks or the shorter OME standard shocks?

I had them. They recommended no bump stop up front and 50mm in rear I think

thanks mate, how did you find them?

I also have the shock relocation with skid plate on the rear which brings the shock up around 1in, so should go 50mm plus what ever they raise them up until?
the bump stop is to prevent the shocker bottoming out correct? so should I just measure full compression on the car and allow say 15mm before its fully compressed?

Easier to measure compression and make the bumpstop to suit
Wouldn't trust Arb with it. I was ignorant when I purchased the Arb kit and just fit it all up and left it as it was.
They were alright weren't that bad I spose

Stock rear shocks are 375x575mm, so the OME are 7mm shorter compressed and 45mm longer extended.

Translation - no bump stop extensions required for these shocks as they stand.

Install the relocation skid kit and you are now around 18mm longer in the compressed state than stock so ideally a 1in extension would be recommended. I wouldnt want to much more than this with these shocks as otherwise total travel will be reduced to much.
