Nice work, extended bumpstops can prevent damage to the shocks and help the springs last longer  :) :)

That looks good!  When I switched out the springs on Project Trouble I ended up angling the lower spring back a bit to help get rid of that arch.  Might not be a bad idea if your down there welding anyway.

Looks good, How much travel do you have now?
When I did the Hagen overotation to my rear axle, I made up some extended bump stops to work with the FOA coils I'm using. Eventually I removed and sold 'em, and am using the airbags for my airlift system as bumpstops. Works great as a nice soft bumpstop and I can still air up for heavy loads and towing. I ended up getting a 3" longer set of bags than stock that fit perfectly with the 4" longer lift coils. I think I'm going to experiment with the shorter bags from the original kit in the front when I finally tear it down for maintenence. I bet they will work just as well up there, and provide a bit of extra spring rate to help out sagging Calmini coils. Air lifting? Hmmmmmm...

Hi guys! sorry for the delay,I was so busy,I'm running around like a chicken with no head  :laugh: thanks for your compliment.
this setup will give me 2 inches more down travel,extensions are 4 inches,I used 1/8 plumbing pipe,I have more pics if
any are interrested.I thought of rotating the axle in my future mods,but I'm concerned about vibration afterwards,I imagine
I will have to have a drive shaft custom bilt with a double joint at the t-case,but the thing is,my output shaft hase 16 splines
so the sye kit wont work,so I will have to make one somehow,anyway maby next year.Did not test the suspension yet,I have
a whole weekend comming soon hope it works well.

Hi Smife! I moved the lower shock mounts exactly 2 inches higher,I have a four door so a 2 door should be a bit less due to u-joint angle,the bumpstops are 4 inches because my calmini suspension is tweeked to 4 inches.The result is a very obvious
increase in susp. down travel.
