bump stops

[headpeace]

hey I jusdt checked my bumpstops, if I recall correctly there should be about 3" between each bump stop and its respective bumper (for lack of better term), is that right, also is that while jacked up? cuz on the ground I got an inch both ways

[headpeace]

any help b4 tomorrow would be greatly appreciated, I need to know waht Im lookin at as far as feasability goes with this

The measurement you need to worry about is the upper control arm to bumpstop clearance. The lower doesn't matter much. Why?

[headpeace]

measured with the pathy on the ground there is only 1" on the UCA, my concern is if that is supposed to be actually about 3" then if I start crankin the t bar then I'll get only 1 inch and be on the bump stop, does that make since?

i dont know where you got the 3 inch idea.

1 inch is fine, even as low as 1/2" is ok.

that 1/2" will give you over an inch of lift most likely.

good luck.

also after you reindex the T bars bounce the front end and take it for a spin around the block, then check again, sometimes it will changs a little.

Look. If you want to lift the front, bumpstop measurements go out the window and you run with what you're comfy with. You can't run stock tolerances and clearances and still have a lifted suspension.
