    bottom out problem

    honestly I don't think you really need them..........of course I can only speak from 2wd experience, but my truck is lowered with 2" spindles, and 1" springs and comes nowhere near hitting the bumpstops even during extremes, like hitting the unfortunate pothole etc.... maybe 2wd bumpstops would...

    bottom out problem

    how long are the new ones exactly? you should only need maybe 2"s of bump stop for it to do what it needs to do..... ( prevent metal from contacting metal during extreme suspension compression ). 1/8" is nowhere near enough suspension travel. your truck will ride like total ass if it only has...

    3.8 gn swap

    from my experience it's usually better (I.E. cheaper) to stick with what's known to work. the amount of money spent in fabricating parts to make things fit and work properly when doing something like this is usually pretty high. you could spend the same money and get better results going an...

    how can you get ahold of him? I assume he just changes the gears to the fast ratio gears?
