    I recently installed a set of rear 4" SL rear springs and extended SL sway bar links. Also installed, were a set of JBA's extended bump stops. Oddly enough they appear to be shorter than the stock bump stops. The front end sits about an inch lower, but I'm not too bothered by it and could always do a little fender flare trimming. In the rear, the XK currently sits a hair over 39.5" passenger side and 39" driver's side. I installed one of Matt's 1/2" spacers on the driver's side to get this result, but will probably take it apart soon to add another to that side to achieve a level rear.

    Looks great man! Definitely can use an additional spacer on the drivers side.

    One of these days I really need to chop up my front bumper too

    That JBA bump stop is supposed to be used in conjunction with the OEM bump stop. The JBA mounts at the bottom spring perch

    Well that explains it. Funny enough, the supplied bold fit nicely in the upper perch. I guess I'll just have to run an additional spacer like y'all in conjunction with the JBA bump stops up top. Mainly because one of my OEM stops lost a sizeable chunk upon removal haha.
