Front bump stops with air ride ?
Right now my front end is lowered 5.5in static drop but it sits right on the bump stop. If I were to install air bags do I remove the bump stops?
Thanks |

i would pull off the bump stops first just to see if the ride drops any more

Re: Front bump stops with air ride ?
I removed mine but left the original bump stop mount in place as it acts as a positive steering stop. I had to remove some material from the inside of the mount for bag clearance.

Re: Front bump stops with air ride ?
are you talking about the stop on the upper control arm? i removed mine but it sucked driving with the bags deflated. it gave another 1.5" drop roughly for me.

removed mine by drilling out spot welds that held the bump stop bracket to lower control arm. made new ones.
