I personally wouldn't spend that kinda jack on them.  They would be nice but unless you are planning on ALOT of high-speed stuff or competing it is overkill.  Also, you would need to see what the setup is on them.  You may not have enough articulation to actually use them correctly. But for about 400 to do both ends, you could just put better shocks on and run conventional bump stops.

Oh yeah - slow down. LOL

Hey you might check out F-O-A for bumpstops.  They offer some at a very reasonable price.  We are working with them right now for next season.  http://f-o-a.com/  let them know we sent you.

  We've run them on a couple of rigs.  If you ever run high speeds on trails and/or jump the rig....I'd highly recommend them.

  We sell Fox brand....Give me a call if we can help you out.

Thanks

i was on foa's website looking at coilovers, they have some really good prices on coilovers and air bumps.

i lknow its expencive, but since i only plan on running 3 inch springs, and cutting enough to run 37s. i figured i would need good bump stops.

my plan is to use TnT customs Phanotm fenders, and make them work on a highline fender setup.



then just cut the rear and add full corners. i will get a 1.25" body lift, so i can do a belly up as well. i wanna keep this as low to the ground as possible.
