if you have zq8 shocks or better.... and cut off the brackets... your truck will be fine for a long long long long long long time.Spaceman said:don't remove the bumpstops, it will mess your truck up in the long run , i could and might crack your frame , just take them out shave them down or buy the aftermarket ones that are made for lowerd trucks, you take them all the way out you have good chance of hurtting something your goin to need
Ya, I found out you have to cut that bracket off too, not just the bumpstop itself. If you cut more than 1-1/2 inches off the bumpstop, your axle will be smacking on the back of the bracket98S10LS619 said:I agree on cutting the bumpstops off including the metal bracket... It'll be so much nicer not smacking onto them everytime you hit dips...
so it makes sense to keep them in there, and smack metal against metal all day long?

That doesn't really make sense to me. You'd have a much greater chance of damaging something if your axle is banging on something than if its not banging on anything. If you're sooo worried about your frame cracking just get a piece of metal and weld it on that area for extra support.Spaceman said:don't remove the bumpstops, it will mess your truck up in the long run , i could and might crack your frame , just take them out shave them down or buy the aftermarket ones that are made for lowerd trucks, you take them all the way out you have good chance of hurtting something your goin to need
REALLY?? ok why dont u ask why frames that are notched and then either welded or bolted back with either step or monster notches, dont ever break. THE FRAME WILL NOT CRACK LOL, bumb stops need to be removed once slammed or bagged, no other way around it.Spaceman said:don't remove the bumpstops, it will mess your truck up in the long run , i could and might crack your frame , just take them out shave them down or buy the aftermarket ones that are made for lowerd trucks, you take them all the way out you have good chance of hurtting something your goin to need
