    I hope so, I can't believe I've been putting up with the harsh ride for more than 2 years when a $0, 30 minute mod would have fixed it a long time ago. Thanks again Sue!

    Yeah and I wish you wouldn't have... What I get a kick out of in this thread is that the OP looked at his bump stops in hopes of improving his ride even though they were not even there to create a "harsh ride". So the ride has not changed. Yet what follows is... everybody saying hey you could get a better ride by chopping them up IF you had them.

    So... Um... Maybe the rest of you should just remove them entirely...

    Now to be fair...the OP only said he went to look to see how much space there was....he didn't mention harsh ride.....prolly was thinking that! Maybe he has blown OEM shocks giving him a crummy ride??

    Yeah that's what I was wondering... perhaps the lack of bumpers created some worn or blown shocks and sagging springs leading to a low enough ride height. Maybe it causes the shocks to bottom out and create a harsh enough ride that one must check bump stop gap? Very mysterious post by SouthJ1..... you still with us?
