this is why you should cut off your bump stops





thats why i do it. sure you can get them on with the rear jacked up but if you ever lift by the body, that happens

I trimmed the bumpstops on my old 96 SS when I ran the 315's. People really need to use their brains a little more often, especially when it comes to modifying stuff on a vehicle.

It's really pretty easy to trim the bumpstops and you can also elongate the mounting holes to slide it inward as well so there's no contact with the wheel or tire. Comparing the cost of the wheels/tires vs the cost of the bumpstop there's no reason not to trim it properly.
