I'm getting some mixed opinions, so I want to hear what everyone did when they dropped their ep.

Most suspension "kits" require the bump stops to be cut down. Otherwise you loose suspension travel and will be hitting the bumpstops all the time.

I think it would really depend on the suspension your putting in. I realize that if it's lower and you don't want to hit them, you may cut. But, if the springs are at a higher spring rate, you're already limiting the travel, no? (I mean, not technically, but for all intent and purposes.)

The rear bump stops are only like 2.5". And the front is really more a dust cover than a bump stop. (Although you could trim the bottom I suppose.) :mredface:
