Where is the cheapest places to get them?

Also do i really need 4" travel or will 2" do?

Cheers,

Depends on where you are driving mate.Myself I`m running 2`1/2 kings in the front of my comp truck with 1` travel taken out.Seems to work ok but If it was a daily driver I wouldn`t have them in on road or wouldn`t bother.With the lenth of the bumpstops the upward travel is nearly the full extent of normal type coil springs so you might find you are sitting on them at ride hight.Make sure diff bracing is all done and suspension works before you spend your money.If all that is sorted buy the holders with the bumpstops, weld them in and hold it flat.Billy

yeah that is why i am thinking of using them - bracing touches sump at full compression ( spoon drain at 70kph) lol.

Where is the best place to purchase?

From our expirence we have found that bracing on top of the diff will do this every time on any nissan.We now put them under and found the clearence probs not to be a issue.We got Kings direct states from downsouth motorsports but that was when the doller was 98c.Wizard performance at gold coast stock fox gear they might have some old stock cheaper? Just make sure you dont take away too much upward travel normal coils lack a little for high speed hits.Is it hard to remove bracing on top? or even some of it?also remember that the bump stops need retopping with nitrogen gas fairly often.Dont get me wrong these are good things but I have seen people put 80/100 series soft rubber ones in and do a very good job and if there is clearence probs i would remove that prob first.What I`m saying is that they help whith some probs but they create just as many not to mention the cost and if they are not approved they could be a major hick up for the scaily men! Depends on how determend you are to bake them work.Make your own mind up but you could save yourself some dollars and headachs by going a simpler way and be just as effective.Just my thaughts Billy

Go for triple bypass shocks. I don't think bumpstops are suited for limited travel as mentioned above. They are ment for a different application where they act in the last 20% of travel rather than 50 %. For example at full noise a trophy truck may contact the stops once every minute and use their (the bump stops) full travel far less. If you have bypass already, and really maximised the tavel, revalved the bypass shocks (way too soft for 4x4's standard) then look at bumpstops. If you have bumpstops without bypass shocks the ride is suddenly very harsh, not to mention the noise they make. What happens too is the useable front travel will drop off big time which is also not ideal. Have a look on the coilover bible on pirate as it is a very good read.

To answer your question about where to get:

I buy all my gear through brent from wizard. You will need cans too at about $50 each too.
