Since installing my QA1's the ride has a rather bouncy. So last night I was looking at the setup and noticed that I'm pretty much ridin' the bump stops. There only about an inch before it hit.

So my question is... are you guys removing the front bump stops or are you just trimming them down? If trimming them how far?

that rust does not seem like you Rich. take that bump stop off (its unbelievably unlikely to hyper-extend anything) and clean up that rust!

i havent had bump stops in a while. totally diff suspension setup but yeah, ditch em!

I trimmed mine and it rode alot better while also keeping me from rubbkngbthe fenders. With them removed the tires rub the fender insanely.

when i was lowered, i took mine out, removed all the rubber and put the metal pieces back in. removed about an inch, inch and a half. it rarely will ever hit, however i'd rather have it hit the metal stop than to smack.

how not? its like cutting the rubber stops down, but instead i just melted them completely off. id rather mess up the cheesy bump stops. those are replaceable. when i try to resale i want zero proof of any modifications.

The area under the bump stop is flat just like the bump stop and I really doubt you'll ever hit that area. I'm lower then anyone here and I have yet to hit that part. My tires go through the wheel well before I get close to hitting it.

You'll have to forgive him Jesse, he's 4x4 and confused :thumbup:
Okay, now that makes sense. I still don't know why the hell you would ever lower a 4x4?? :lol:

I think I'm gonna try trimming them first.. My parts for the SSBC kit should be here today, so I'll have the truck on the lift next week anyways.
Funny... I've been ridin' the bump stops for about a year now, yet now that I know why it rides all bouncy it's driving me nutz.
