After installing front disconnects I have noticed my bump stop cups have been rubbing alot on the inside of the front springs. My current setup is a 2" spring with a 2" spacer. The bump stop extension in the front is done by 3" spacer on the top side and using the stock jounce bumpers. I am thinking a better setup would be to go with a bump stop spacer on the bottom spring perch and removing some length out of the top? Eventually I will probably switch to a 3.5-4" spring but I am thinking if I had those now the "rubbing" would even be worse. Any thoughts?

Anyone else having these symptoms?

You can get bump stop spacers from rubicon express that you can drill and tap into the bottom center of the spring perch.

Mine was doing that until I lengthened the front lower arms and pushed the axle forward a little. Then the bumpstop cups stopped rubbing inside the springs.
