There's a new story entry added:

Pictures and steps on how to cut the bumpstop brackets off.

well first start with a thin grinding disk. dont get it thick. thinner is better in this case use saftey glasses also a hooded jacket because the sparks hits your hair/neck and stings. this way your eyes are fine and a hooded jacket protects most of your neck

does the truck have to be lowered to do this and feel the effects cuz i have an 02 zq8 and i was wondering if this will effect it in a positive way,thanks

Unless you bottom out, it doesn't effect the ride. However, for the small amount of times that you DO bottom out, it keeps your axle from hitting the frame. Metal on metal is bad.

i just did mine this weekend, my blazer is droped 3/4 or 3/5 cant really tell and its a dream, it was alot tuffer then this guy made it sound with my 87 lol i ended up getting frusterated and just hacking them off peice by piece, i couldnt get the welds from 87 to crack so i just well cut um off lol but it helps alot i hit the bumps on my road that at 30 would normally slam the back end around, and it road like a dream wata big difference just a stupid peice of metal with a rubber end makes

Again, this is only necessary if your truck is dropped more than that of a stock zq8. So if you put a 3" drop, you MIGHT need to.

Bottomline, if you have more than 3in's of drop in the rear, I would.

 

[crazy_s_dime]

yeah, i have a 3 or 3 and a half inch drop in the rear and i can feel it hit hard when there are big bumps, so this would be ok to do to my truck to keep it from hitting so hard?

Liquid nails will work. But that is really only needed if you go down to a 6 in the back. And still then, depending on the clearance, a notch may be in order.

Each truck is different. Some people with a 6 in the back have 2 inches of clearance after cutting out the brackets. Others have maybe 1/2 inch of clearance after cutting them out. Only thing I suggest is to remove them and measure. If you have around 2 inches of clearance and good shocks in the back you should be OK. You will still hit on larger bumps but not all the time. But after cutting them out you find you do not have enough clearance or you still hit often, you may need to look into a small c-notch.

yeah i've been rollin on it for about 2 weeks without bumpstops and have not hit once...i was thinking about putting the bump stop on the flat plate that hold the U bolts in, just in case...but like i said, 3 inch drop...no issues with them gone...now i gotta do the front.

Thanks!

started lookin under my truck the other day when me and my bud were working on my truck weldin the rollpan up and me and him seen it at about the same time and we though dang the axle isnt supposed to sit on the bump stops like that is it? sarcastically so he got out the plasma cutter and we pulled a jesse james monster garage style but its lower and it rides better than it did stock. No wonder it beat me to death everyday!

 

[AlexCoppas]
