    is 2.5 king bump stops overkill for a mid travel setup? the 2.0s are like half the price.

    before anyone gives me shit about being mid travel...I wanted to ask you guys since you all know best about bumpstops.

    Yes you don't need 2.5's but if you can find them for the same price if not lower than 2.0 then get them.

    You have to watch out for those hidden rock edges or bush roots, they jump out and stab at your sidewalls!

    2.5 or 3.0 RR smooth bodies? Is a compression adjuster worth the extra, truck will have different weights in the back between DD and when I go wheeling.

    I'm sure you'd be fine with 2.5's Smoothies in the rear :cool: Unless you're doing something crazy!

    Buy the most shock you can afford / justify. Compression adjusters are always worth it to me but I do alot of different types of wheeling and like to be able to have some adjustment.
