    I should have mine done next week @Timbo89 . I'm Running all-pro u-bolt flip plates with stock bump location superbumps. I'll post if i need to space my bumps and how much, or not.

    Of course when running shock relocate kit, you can set up your up/down travel to some extent. Then add bumps or straps if needed.

    That all depends on the travel of the shocks and how you have them mounted like @NABeast said. I have trail gear bump stops and have them extended a few inches or so. Just gotta cycle the suspension and measure and see.

    If anyone is curious I'm sticking my with skyjacker 63's for the new build. They work so well that I don't see the need to link the rear straight away. The front will be a 3 link and the rear wills stay on 63's with a new beefed up traction bar.
