I just removed my front stops, welded in some 50mm box and refitted the stop to the box sections.

On the rear i just welded in some 50mm box to the plate where the stop hits.

I'm not SPOA just lift springs.

You want to set the bumpstops to a point where they stop the spring as it goes flat under compression, over flexing leaf springs shortens their life.
