I bought the jba four inch bumpstops and cut then down to two inches like I was told in another topic. I can't seem to get them inthough. the stock ones came out fine. They go in with the metal washer side going into the bracket right? If anyone can explain how the jba go inn I would really appreciate it.

Are you trying to put them on top?
I believe they go on the bottom, and you need to drill a hole to bolt the to the lower spring perch. A right angle drill/ adapter will be your friend here.

That's correct. You'll need a sheet metal screw and a washer that'll fit into the hole but you should find a socket that fits loosely, then grab a screw with the head the same size. I removed my springs to drill the holes, threaded the screws into the holes, removed the bumpstops. You won't be able to put the springs back with the lower bumpstops installed. What I did was put the springs in then install the bumpstops. They're designed to be used with the upper bumpstops so you'll have to put those back in.
Did you replace the front bumpstops?

Yes but they can be a little difficult. If you have some siliconesß spray, it helps to coat the bumpstop prior to installation. If you don't have any, I suggest that you get some, it really helps.

I used the hockey puck method. Its a little easier since you can pop them in one at a time through the spring. You just have to drill and tap before installing the spring
