    Here is my solution. I ordered the 4" poly bumpstop from Energy Suspension and attached it to the stock bumpstop bracket by drilling a hole and bolting it through. I am running the 912's also.

    You may want to change your front bumpstops to some energy suspension polyurethane types(the same type as the rear bumpstops) and go with the low profile version. Several people have done this here so they don't ride on their front stock bumpstops after lifting.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    The odds are 100% in your favor. The part numbers are:9.9102R for red, or 9.9102G for black. Good luck lifting!

    You can also go with the ultra low profile stops which are about half the height(3/8" vs. 11/16" thick) which are: 9.9132R for red or 9.9132G for black.

    thanks!

    not to be a pest... but why would i want either the tall, or low profile for either the front, or the rear?

    also, i found this and i just want to make sure i order correctly... did their part #'s change? or am i being paranoid?

    Cranking the t-bars to gain lift moves the A-arms closer toward the limit of their droop (downward travel). Adding low-profile bumpstops at that location in the front will allow more downward travel.
