Default cut or drill holes through front bump stops on 4x4

I just installed my rear shackles this weekend and measured all around my truck all within half inch of each other front says sits lower on tape measure but doesn't look like it at a distance, I'm riding on my front a arm bumpstops heard some people taking the out and some drilling holes to drop it down some more. Any advice on what you guys have done

You’re most likely to find you are going to have to cut a nub or so off to get it where you want it and then you can cross drill some 3/16” to 1/4” holes to soften them back up some. This is what most people do, as each nub you remove the bump-stops get stiffer. Of course if you want to skip this all together, Belltech offers replacement bump-stops in about three or so different heights for the front of our trucks.
