I'll only add to that a little bit by saying:

A)  You need the soft microcellular koni bumpstops.
      Mike Saiki at motivational engineering sells them
      reasonable.  I got mine from him.

B)  For the dustboots, I wanted to retain a small amount
      of dust protection, and use the koni bumpstops, so I
      actually took a razor blade and cut off all but the very
      last part of the stock hard rubber bumpstops built into
      the boots, and retained the boot, without the stock stops.
      I would recommend this practice to anyone who doesn't
      say 'Oh no!  I'm going to cut a stock piece of rubber off
      my car!'

I'm all for retaining stock pieces when their not in the way or
don't need to be removed for customization purposes, otherwise,
poetically speaking:  "As my momma used to say, 'Dump it Forest!'".
