    Quick discussion with a colleague.

    Bilsteins tells you to run the bump spacer not for col shock length, but rather spring block height. FYI

    I am getting ready to install a strut spacer lift, Pro Comp 2.5" so measured spacing of bump stop when sitting on flat ground so I could return them to stock placement after the spacer lift install and prevent collapsing the shock. The front bump stop gap before the strut spacer lift measured 55/64" and the rear bump stop measures up with 1 and 11/64" space between the bump stop and the lower control arm. Although the strut will be moved down and 4 Wheel Parts says there is no need to change the bump stop to prevent damage, they advised me that lowering bump stops is is completely unnecessary. Although stock spacing doesn't allow for a huge amount of movement, it allows the needed movement in stock form. I would expect the strut collapse issue, especially if the strut becomes the bump stop because the bump stop is beyond the stock placement. I also found it odd that BDS, Rough Country, ARB, Tibren, Zone Off-Road, Coach Builders, and Wheeler's Off-Road all sell spacers to account for strut lifts if this isn't an issue. I'm planning on returning my bump stops to stock front and rear distance from lower control arm just to be safe rather than have to replace struts and repair damage to suspension components.

    If anyone thinks I am insanely wrong in this thought process please let me know.

    I'll post more when I have the lift in and measure the difference in the distance between lower control arm and the bump stops.
