Re: Anyone shave the metal bump stop tower off the bottom A arm??
I have removed it to lay frame with air bags, just drill out the spot welds through the bump stop and pound off with a chisel and hammer.

Re: Anyone shave the metal bump stop tower off the bottom A arm??
I always do this mod. (including using the small "energy Suspension" bumpstops)
Alot of people remove the entire bracket,... but I like to trim off the bumpstop bracket portion only,...and leave the steering stop.
