Front Drop Hitting Bump Stop
Hey guys, as many of you know I bought the 3/5 drop from WC. The rear flip kit is in an looks great. The kit I bought just included the new drop springs for the front. Last night I finished it , dropped it of the jack stands and it looks great the only problem is the truck is hitting the front bump stops. Should I just cut them off to give it a little more room? No I dident use spindles, just put the smaller springs in. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I just trimmed my bumpstops down so they were barely above the metal stoper pad.

I dont have any pics. I accidently pulled out the whole bump stop when I was cutting it a couple miutes ago. Do I have to have a bump stop on the front or not? How do I put the bump stop back in...because I have been trying for a while?

I've been driving a year without the bumpstops,and that's no fun when you hit big bumps.
Bought new ones and cut 1/3 off because they were too long for the shorter coils. Don't know how to put them on.A mechanic did that for me.But the shortened bumpstops do their job very well now.
