Sliders are in the garage wall since a year and half ago... I must finish welding them, and I must do it fast because they're included in the engineer project I'm doing now to legalize my 4R.

OK, I've heard bad things about running BJ spacers and low-pro bumpstops. Yours seems to flex like a mofo by the way. Cool pics, am I to believe its fine to run the low-pros on the compression side only? Anyone else have good/bad things about that particular setup?

This is why I only have the low profile bumpstops in the compression, because if I put them in the extension, plus the extension given by the BJ Spacers my CV will fail because getting off from his housing. I've installed BJ Spacers you'll know what I'm talking about.

I put in the compression because if you look at the CV's, they only go down, from stock they stop the uptravel in the level position. If a CV can go down why not up? The only bad thing is the rubbing. I rub my 31's sometimes!

Hmmm - never really thought about that David... where do you get low profile compression bumpstops? Or did you grind yours?

I dont want to go scrounging up used parts from other people. I want new parts that have never been used (also for a decent price ~$0-$450 maybe if i have to a little bit higher). Thanks for any input yall might have.
BTW there is nothing in the YT marketplace or on Ebay.....that i know of
if you're looking for a superlift bracket kit for the front, i may be letting mine go... thinking SAS later this summer. if you can wait, we may have a deal in the offing.

Sorry did not have time to read the entire thread but 2 cents....
Yes it cost more than it should but the Total Chaos kit has been the bomb for me so far....

tc, I got my bumpstops from Independent4x in the States, but I'm sure you in the US won't have any problem to get them anywhere.

Good points. Where exactly are you rubbing with the 31's? Is it really bad? For some reason in the pics they look bigger than 31's.

No serious rubbing, only in the inner fender plastic. You hear the tire plugs doing "crucrucru" hehehe
