trimming down bump stops
Well I finished half of my lowering kit last night the kit is a 2/4 drop but I only had time to do the rear. so the rear sits 4" lower. My bump stop is about 3/4 of an inch, maybe 1" at the most, away from my axle. I'm afraid I'm going to be bottoming out all the time. I'm not looking to do a c-notch at any time soon, so I need some ideas. Can I trim off some of my bump stops so I'll have a little more suspension travel? How do the bump stops bolt in? Could I just leave them in and take a recipricating saw with a long blade and cut about an inch off the bottom of each stop or will I be cutting through a bolt that holts them in place that is driven through the center of the bump stop. Any suggestions or tips will help. Thanks

yeah i cut most of it off with a jigsaw. Its made of a foam like plastic material, very easy to cut off. I left around one nub left of the bump stop and havent had any problems

phuc all them saws. the stop is made out of foam. I cut it with a damn razor blade. No need for a motorized cutting tool, no need to remove it. I left one rib and have had zero problems with bottoming out.
