I don't see how that could be. The blocks space the axle 2" farther "down" from the bump stops. The plates are on top of the springs which are 1 1/2"-2" more arched than stock, so farther from bump stops than stock. It is as if I have 2" lift springs

Here is picture of someone making there own bump stop:

I know all about shackle flips. There are 4" and 6". I would have done that if there were 2" kits. I just did this lift after doing my homework and decided to go this way, not looking to change it. The reason I went this route is to not have a permanent 4" lift, so I could drop back to 2" later on. The only other method I could have done was 2" springs and 2" blocks. Whenever I go down to 2" I'll go to 2" springs

Again, it's the bump stop brackets that are an issue, not the bump stops. Thanks for the suggestions either way
