I was just thinking last night that I probably need some sort of bump stop in my struts. But because of the 2.25" springs the original ones won't fit.
What have others done about bump stops (and/or dust boots) when building coilover struts?

Hey Mate,
 
Here is what I have in mine.  The struts are Koni Yellows.
 
Here they are from Summit - http://www.summitracing.com/search/Department/Chassis-Suspension/Brand/Koni/Part-Type/Bump-Stops/  You may be able to get them elsewhere too.
 
Cheers
 
Matt

Bump stops are lot cheaper than rebuilding inserts after punching the foot valve out.
 
Anyone using 2lt or Capri struts with standard height inserts should be running bump stops. Turn the wheel to full lock with car on the ground and see what sort of bump travel is available. You need to do this to get the correct bump stop height anyway.
