yep I tried it spoa 2" lifted springs and ext bumpstops on 32's I think I ended up at near 4 inches of bump in the end. The rampover was great.

I pulled it all out and went spua on 34's, it was too tippy and scared the shit out of me even on mild side slopes and that was on wt axles 38mm wheel spacers and decent off set rims.lots of little naps for my zook on spoa.
I go lots more places now and always the right way up.

flat springs might be a better bet I think if you are spoa.

I had a zook on 32" with a SPOA and a body lift it only needed about a 1" bump stop extention.
My mates one on 31" with a SPOA without a bodylifthad about the same, 20mm if I remember correct.

But use stock springs dont put lifted ones in. You get a better flex with the stock ones. We played around with stock, 2" OME and using extra leaves from a trailer pack. Stock worked the best.

I have spoa with stockish springs on toys with 35s and guard cutting.
I set mine with 50mm up travel, I still have great down travel (I believe helped by the bumpstop spacing) and it made it alot more stable.

The bump stops I have in the rear have about 60mm upwards travel before contact, I think this will be sufficient - What do you think?

I did mine with trial and error so it was alot of messing around but I ended up with the best mix of travel and stability.
Have you done the front yet?

Nope- I have some 100 series ones for the rear (I hope they fit), and I will make up some for the front soon.
