extended bump stops for bigger shocks than coils

[Porkeh]

hi, i have all the gear ready to lift my gq to 4inch coils and 6 inch shocks, my only real problem at the moment is working out what height to make the extended bump stops. no one seems to sell a bump stop kit for 6 inch, so im happy to fabricate, can anyone tell me what size spacer i would have to make to make the correct size bump stop for 6 inch? i have no idea how to work my head around how to make the correct size, could i get a 4 inch extended bump stop kit and then make a 2 inch spacer or 2.5 inch spacer to be safe and that would work?
any help appreciated thanks alex!

The only real way to work out your bump stop length is to measure. You can't buy a kit because every setup is different. If you drop the bottom off one of your shocks and measure it's closed length then do the same with your new shock. The difference is the spacing you need. Same for the fronts of lift the shock towers at the front. I have a pic of mine I will post for you.

If you don't have a body lift you will need to drill a hole to get access to the top of the shock

It depends on the distance between your shock mounts at full bump, and the colapsed length of your shocks, no one can help with out these measurements
