The Day Star bump stops I got from AllJ's seems to do the job. It was making contact with the stock upper bump stop and my BFG KO 245/75's were not touching at all. They were close, but were not touching.

Here's the KJ while I was searching for some turkey Friday evening.

it will perform better with less rear flex and more front flex.

Awesome pictures. I think that is one of the nicer done Renegades I have seen.

And jcphoto20, how do you figure? Anyone will take any flex they can get out of a suspension for fourwheeling. Plus, you can only get so much out of the IFS flex.

Nice looking Renegade PBrug!

I think he's aiming to turn this into another "swaybar discussion" that will turn into another bash fest. He's trying to get something started..you're better off not even replying to his comments/posts.

Thank You

I don't know about all that flex stuff, nor do I need a ton of flex for what I'll put my KJ through. I just know I'm glad it appears my rear flares won't be getting ripped off by the BFG KO's. I'd rather have the bump stop there limiting things then have to replace the flares after off roading.

PBURG..........
Gotta love those Rene's!! Especially yours.. that thing is looking good! How much/if any have your 948's OME coils saged? I recently installed a OME lift with 948 rear and 926 Med's front and noticed that the front was lower so i also installed rusty's strut plate wich leveled it out and posibly the front is a bit higher. It's been 2 weeks and over 1000kms since it was installed.Thansk for the help. I will post a pic once i get Mutt's sliders on and my rene steps off.. :D

Thanks.

I haven't taken any recent measurements, but I don't think the rear HD's sagged much at all if any. I know the front settled a little, but it is sitting fairly level with 1/4 clevis, Rusty's strut plate and HD's coils. I have 1,250 miles and 2 months on the lift now. I've been wanting to take a current pic in the same spot as I did right after I had the lift installed, to see if and how it settled, but I have not got to it yet.
