    whats the purpose of the different bumpstops? is it for more articulation into the fender?

    To LIMIT the amount of up travel in the suspension...bigger tires + more neg. offset = tire contact with the lip/inside of the fender well. ...

    Yeah just like LDub said, on the rear the larger Bumpstop helps prevent tire rub from the larger tires and wider offset upon up travel of the wheels, and on the front the lower profile bumpstops increase the amount of down travel. Bumpstops on the rear make contact on up travel, bumpstops on front make contact on down travel.

    Yes, inquiring minds want to know... How loud?
    That is probably the best combination of height and meat I've seen yet.
    GREAT JOB!
