Noticed after my spindle lift was put on that my bump stops are no where near touching the control arm. I was wonder how close are they suppose to be touching the control arm? Also if I will be needing to replace, any specific brands people recommend?

i have heard good things about energy suspension since they use polyurethane materials rather than rubber

I'll look into them, do you know they are suppose to be touching lower control arm or slightly above it?

Mine do not as well and I know that when you do the RCX 6in loft it comes with a bracket to drop the bump stop down but I'm unsure about if it's required

I would say the bump stop should not be touching the control arm. If it's touching, how can you have any suspension movement?
You need room for the suspension to move before it makes contact. Inch or two anyway.
