    If you plan on lifting your vehicle at all(or in the future), then I would wait to cut the stops. When you lift, it pushes the bumpstops away from the axle and in several cases(myself included) you actually need extensions in order for your bumpstops to work at all anymore. One of the reasons bumpstops are there is to prevent your expensive shocks from bottoming out and being destroyed. Cut with caution. It may also affect future resale......
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    I got an extra set from a junkyard just in case I didn't like the outcome....but then was so happy with it I knew I'd never go back, so I shipped the extra set to Mav.....he used them, and his originals are now sitting as his spares. So that's one way around that issue.....get a spare set.
