When Tim Parker did my windows, he noticed I'm pretty much riding on the rear bump stops and that explains the really rough ride on dirt road, etc..

My goal, I just want a smoother ride on dirt, gravel roads.

I searched & read some threads about bump stops and cranking on the torsion adjustment bolts. JAMAS mentioned he was going to cut his stops in half. Did you ever do that? How'd it come out? What about getting the low profile or ultra low profile stops?

Would cutting the rears in half do much? Spacing on my 4Runner's rear stops are like 8"....so wasn't sure an inch or so would make much difference on VX, & read where LDub says stock is around 1/4" space. I can't do a lift of any kind because it would make it too hard for me to get into car (long story).

Taking it to a shop next week for tranny & transf case flush & alignment, & they could work on this, but I wanted some advice from you VX'ers.

Any suggestions?? Thanks.

Here's pics of both front & rear.
