I would say the only way to test would be to flex out your rig all the way, then measurethe distance between the frame/stock bumpstop and axle/bracket. Add a little to this and you should have your measurement.

Of course, afterwards you have to go wheeling to "check your measurements".

I thought they were supposed to be easy to adjust the bumpstop length with this kind?

Well the plates are just bolted on to the leaf spring plate so yeah it would be. I just dont feel like taking it all apart to add or take off you know __________________ 2001 Steel Blue Metallic XJ Rocklizard Fab 3.5"/Gila Monster Quarter Guards/33" Trxus MT's/PMW Door Armor/Hood Vents/IPF H4 Conversion/ 1967 Chevelle SS 396 Deep Plum Metallic My Pics and Specs

the only way to get it right is to flex it out see where you want the uptravel to stop, then measure. adding and removing additional plates is only 2 bolts....it's simple to add and remove them on the vehicle __________________ Randy Langstraat myXJ.net
