Where can I get aftermarket bumpstops for a wj?

I don't have a WJ, but that seems to be standard Jeep practice. With those, you remove the stock bumpstops, and then you reinstall them with the spacer on the new longer bolt.

A socket?
You're out of my territory at this point. I've never been within 10 feet of a WJ. I'm assuming it's similar to XJs and ZJs, and there are write-ups on those if you search for bumpstop extensions.

I believe mine were just inserted into the post that's inside the coil spring. You've gotta drop the axle a good bit or flex it enough to stick a new one in between the coils.

Does a sye kit (like the one from RC) work with a front xj or zj driveshaft? I only seem to read that people use them with a hack n tap sye... would a full sye kit be to short? I'd be using this with 5.5" lift.

It should fit, the reason people use the stock DS out of an XJ is because they are on a budget, I did the HNT and XJ stock front DS. The DS coat me $17 instead of buying a new or custom one for $200+

But yeah it should fit, the XJ front has a slider thing on it the allows it to move in and out to get a little length out of it.
