nter bump stop? Upper control arms have nothing to do with the bump stop (pinion snubber). I'm setting up with QA1adjustables.

I’m sorry I thought I put front in there,I’m talking about the front upper control arm (blaming it on Covid fog)
 
IMO: I don't run any fancy arms up front. Much is gained by suspension settings (camber/caster), sway bar thickness and bushings/tie rods that are in good condition to handle the flexing. Those tubular arms do look nice and exotic but IMO not worth the money.

i can't speak to those arms per say but that partictular design when your suspension is@full droop(say on a four post lift or stands on the frame)the arms will rest on the frame..
 
This is the setup I’m using think I may have to put some kind of limiter on it to put on my rack would be concerned about damaging the shock with the suspension going so far down it also has 1 inch longer ball joints top and .5 longer in bottom
