    Gonna do my OME install this week.. without having this tool what's the best way to remove these clips so I don't break them and can re-use them? The little plastic clips he's pointing to with his tool

    Scissors if you be sure not to clip them...or a flat head screwdriver.

    yup, just slide the blade under the head and twist, it should pop them right out.

    I just realized today that when I did my lift, I totally forgot about bump stops. I have bags in the back, so no bump stops needed. But, the front is another story.

    FB2C8979-FD30-41E9-A7A1-4DA67B82FADA_zps_8b174211fb910799dcc7127d1121c11dc6338143.jpg

    What're you guys doing to extend the front bump stops?

    I was looking at these. Just not sure how long they are, so don't know what to order for spacers.

    There's a 2.25" gap between the factory bump stop and the LCA right now at full flex.

    I believe so. I do still have the sway bar though. Maybe that's holding things up? I do have 886's with 1/4" top plate spacers. So, a full 3" of lift. With the bump stop gap at 2.25, it SEEMS like it's right.

    Good to know. Thank you.

    The shock bottoms out and acts as the stop.

    Hey OZ, are you running any spacers with yours, or are the Superbumps long enough alone?

    Could also be that the 886's are just so stiff that they're what's stopping the travel? I don't think so, not with sliders, armor, bumper and winch weighing things down.

    Just called Wheelers. With my setup the factory bump stops are not too short. It is the 886's stopping the travel.

    Thank you for the input guys.
