Hey guys! I recently purchased the pro-kit springs and was planning on doing the install tom. just had a few question
-Do you have to cut the bumpstops? it says no in the instructions, but Pfadt springs is a similar drop and does require it....plz clarify -Any advice or tips are welcomed....i've done a few drops on imports i'm assuming this is pretty much the same THANKS A BUNCH! |

you ought to, if you want the same amount of wheel travel. if you don't cut them, you might bottom out a lot easier.

No, you do not have to cut the bump stops. It specifically says so in the paper that comes with the set! I have installed them and had no problems of the shocks bottoming out.
Look at the DIY section there are one or two good write-ups that i used. |

X2 I'm planning on doing the same kit. Also what tools did you use to install it yourself? Hoping this is something I can do on a Saturday or Sunday in the garage. Let me know, thanks.

yea i rented one from AUTOZONE $50, they refund it once returned.....overall the springs arent compressed that much at all, i didn't use it when removing most of em, but you will need it when reinstalling fronts..
