    I raised the rear end of my truck by 2 inches using an add a leaf. Should I or do i need to swap out the OEM rear bumpstops to make them taller?

    Thanks in advance.

    I don’t think you should need to seeing that you didn’t use lifted shackles you just basically re-arced the springs. The final bottom point has not changed. I think people that use lifted/extended shackles should consider relocating their bump stops so that they don’t over extend there springs causing premature wear. I feel that the springs are bending backwards upon bottoming out causing them to start to reverse arc.
