About to Frankenlift, got some questions

[LiberatorBB]

I'm gonna be installing my Frankenlift and JBA ucas this week. It came with rear bumpstops, but not front ones.
Is a teraflex front bump stop something I should also buy, or is the stock one long enough?
Also, I bought some Cragar soft 8s that are 16x8 with 5" backspace. I plan on putting 245-75-16 duratracs on them. Any idea if I'll need to pound the pinch weld?
Thanks in advance! :worthy:

Common consensus is yes... All J's says not needed :shrug:

If you see yourself pushing the suspension to it's max frequently then they will help you to not over compress the shocks ... personally I can't imagine the coils ever compressing that much they are so freakin' stiff.

I can see them compressing that much
takes some to do it but its possible

Alright, I purchased the bump stops from JeepinbyAl. I'm getting the lift before I can afford the tires, so I've got a few weekends before I gotta pound the pinch welds. I have to find a heat gun somewhere. Thanks for your help guys!
