OME Lift kit - bump stop question

rebjeep09 · **Posted:** Fri Nov 14, 2014 1:29 pm

Just had the OME springs and shocks installed. 2927 / 90009 shock front and 2731 / 60069 shock rear.
The shop said I did not need larger bump stops, other than the stock ones.
Is it possible to install them after the fact?
Is there an install procedure (I couldn't find one on here), or am I OK with the stock ones.
Also - I was (pleasantly) surprised that I got about 2.5" of lift, even though OME says 1 to 1.5"
(they even have a disclaimer that says you might only get .75" on some models).
Hoping I am OK with stock bump stops.
Thanks for any input.

You can get longer Teraflex front bump stops. Jeepin By Al sells them. http://jeepinbyal.com/liberty-2008-2012-kk/teraflex-bump-stop.html Installation is simply popping the old ones out with a pry bar and popping the new ones in (some grease or motor oil will help them slide in better).
You can get rear bump stops as well from JBA, or use hockey pucks. In either case, you'd need to remove the rear spring, drill the spring perch, reinstall the spring with the bump stop inside it, and bolt the bump stop down through your newly drilled hole.

I'll suggest getting front bumpstops. As for the rear, you'll be good for a while, especially with street driving. Honestly, I have yet to install rear bumpstops on my 3.5" lift. And I don't think Jeepin_it_real ever installed rears on his 4+" lift.

Now with that said, if you run bigger tires, you may get rubbing from them when flexing(hence the point of bumpstops).
