Front Bump Stops

The one on top, I'd say so.
The one on bottom may need to be trimmed or swapped depending on how low.

Yeah, top one looks aftermarket - id expect to have to remove or modify it.
Specs on lift? You selling parts?

the fabtech UCA bump stop is LOWER than oem...i dont think youll hit it with oem arms but it wont stop the arm from drooping too far down. The lower stops are oem...youre fine there. Only thing u can do to keep some sort of stop on ur truck is to retain those upper stops and bolt up a tall stop...maybe a cone or rectangular block.
Looks like you have an old school fabtech 6". I never liked how bowed out the coils were in that kit

:fulloffuck:
That's completely correct, no possible issues with that at all :crazy:
I wouldnt not run some type bump stop. I wouldn't want to chance it slamming metal on metal. There's a reason why they are installed imo
Thank you all for the response. The thing is I don't want to risk damaging an arm if I remove the bump stops, that's why I still want to leave them on or if possible reinstall the original ones. But again I'm not sure if the ones it currently has on would be an issue once I lower the truck.
I'm planning on doing a 5/8 drop.

I have never hit metal on metal, and I've hit huge bumps. But I also have a big weld in underbed notch, but I've never hit metal on metal front either.
Those fab tech stops won'thurt oem arms...you probably wwon't even be close to them since the fab techs are LOWER than oem
why would he run smaller stops? his oem stops were cut off, cant put any where they used to be. So now hes gotta keep the fabtech mount and get TALLER stops to compensate for the lower location fo the fabtech mount. Get a lil bit taller or just add fender washers under the fabtech to raise it some...that way it stops the arm from drooping too much and possibly overextending the shock...BJs and TREs will be well within their limits, but the shock will act as a limiting strap until it rips out :rofl: All of this is assuming hes getting enough travel to do this...being hes lowered and not prerunning a baja race, hes probably fine....Id still want something there tho.
