Can you loose a spring without the bumpstops?

Got a few more pics on my cardomain page now:

One thing I'm noticing about this lift that I didn't think of when I installed it is without the extra bumpstops they recommend it actually flexes a lot more than stock. I just hope I don't ever break anything or let the spring pop out doing this. What do you guys think? Nothing major here...just some basic wheeling...

I've seen a video floating around here of someones coil flopping out when fully dropped.

Not sure with the Daystar kit you have. Alot depends on what lenght shocks you have. If they are about the same lenght as the stock ones I would not worry about it. If they are as long as the RSX 17004 (~25" extended) then I'm not sure. Get it to full droop (tire off the ground) and give a tug on the spring and see if it looks easy to pop out.

I have OME springs in the rear with the RSX17004. At full extension the spring is a little loose, but not even close to poping out.

I would have to say though that jacking it up until full extension is achieved is not the same as it fully extending in the trail. I would still put the bump stop on if you have it.

OK, will the bump stops that they sell at www.boulderbars.com for the Skyjacker springs work with my Daystar spacer lift??

Call and ask. They won't bite.
