how to know when to replace shocks, springs?

A lot of people cut the stock bump stops and have an improved ride. The jarring is when the axle hits the stops, which happens alot if there's only 1/2 inch of space. Cut the stock stop in half and you'll be happy.

X2...I got a set of bump stops from a Rodeo at the local salvage yard and cut those down and put them on the VX...rides much better and I still have my OEM stops if I ever want to put it back. Cost me about 5 bucks and a trip to the yard!
