Re: remove bump stops?
You can cut the rubber down or buy the stubby bump stops.
Or remove it completely. Just remember it is also your steering stop.

Re: remove bump stops?
Id make the part that touches on the bumpstop thinner so when you hit the bumpstop its more progressive than the regular bumpstops and way beter than metal on metal.
