Rubicon Monotube / Bump Stopper Question

[Bigsarge173]

So I'm running into a problem. I already have the Rubicon Monotubes for a 3.5" lift. I only want a 2" lift on the my MJ. I called Rubicon and the rep didn't sound like he was sure but he said that I can do a 2" lift but I need to put on bump stoppers. He said that lots of people run with bigger shocks all the time. Can anyone advise me?

 

I was about to order the a budget lift (spacers and add a leaf) kit from EBay but I want to see what everyone has to say.

 

Thanks!

You can get extended bumpstops that replace the stock ones, I think they are an inch or so longer.  Another option is getting a body lift block (or hockey pucks) and bolting it down to the spring perch on the axle, just figure out what length you would need.   I went with both on mine to get the correct amount of up travel

Where is a good place to buy the pucks?

As in the hockey pucks?  Any sporting good store would have them, just drill a hole in the middle and bolt them down.  As far as body lift blocks, any offroad shop should have them.  The one by me charged me $5 each for 3" body lift blocks to use as bumpstops.
