Hi Scottie , no am not running any bumpstops, the front leaf plate sometimes touches
the chassis lol, I will try them.
I think the stock ones will fit in there, thanks for the heads-up

Set the bumpstops up as inboard as possible or directly above the springs. You want to set them up so that they make contact when the leaf springs are flat...you can go a bit higher so the springs invert a bit but the more you invert the springs the less life they will have. Don't worry you won't actually loose much up travel at the wheel.
