I have the 2' Daystar and am about to upgrade to the 245/75-16 Duratracs. Will I need bigger bump stops or should it not make to much of a difference?

I have a 2.5" OME lift with 225/75/16 and stock bump stops. I've flexed both front and rear out fully without any rubbing. I have about a half inch between the tire and fender at full flex. I would think with the 245/75/16 you would kiss the fenders.

Bump stops are not just for making sure tires do not hit the fenders
They also limit travel so you do not stack your springs or over compress your shocks

Front bumpstops are important too...
I filled in my rear spacers with plywood rounds and sealed it all with rtv. Why they make them hollow i don't know. :dizzy:

Hard to see it in the pic but look closely at the bottom spacer.
