    Yeah that's what I did. Unfortunately I had to use a 2 inch spacer and lost a lot of articulation in the rear due to the 33's. I can totally stuff them in the wheel well and they just touch the flare at full stuff. Do you disconnect your rear sway bar? If so that's another reason your hitting the flares. I haven't disconnect the rear in along time and won't be able to until I get a bigger lift.

    Do the 2" bump stops completely replace the factory ones or do you stack them? The hole for the M10 bolt is factory and not something I'll have to drill right?

    I disconnect my sway bar. Actually I'm currently not running the sway bar because I bent the links.

    The bump stops press into a plate that's bolted to the body. I'm just making a spacer to move that plate down lower and therefore need a longer bolt. Very simple mod. I'm actually making it more complicated just because I have some spare aluminum and access to a lathe/mill/drill machine that's in my buddies garage next to his beer fridge lol.

    Took some measurements today.... looks like 3" diameter is actually perfect for the spacer.

    I couldn't really get in there to measure how big of a spacer i'd need, so I may start with 2".

    Seems like those 3" diameter x 2" high body pucks make this a really cheap/easy $10 mod for people.

    Nope, unbolt and add the extension between the body and the existing bump stop cup. Hole is there already.
