2.5” x 4” Rear bumps overkill?

Regarding Diameter:
I’ve heard the 2.0” diameter rear bumps can be too puny so I’m wondering if 2.5” diameter is a better choice or overkill.

If they are too stiff can lowering the pressure be done to soften them up?

Regarding Stroke Length:
I’ve seen where the shorter stroke length 2.5” doesn’t support much of the rear travel considering that the last 1/2”-1” or so of stroke isn’t used unless the rear end is articulated quite a bit so I’m wondering if the 4” stroke is a better option?

End-use is a basically stock gen-2 rear daily driven but going out on the Colorado mountain trails on the weekends.

Thanks guys!

bumps are a last line of defence,
a 4” stroke bump on your truck will be engaging after about 1 1/2” of compression, all that fancy live valve shock function will be wasted.
get deavers first then a 2 1/2” stroke bump kit
