I would defenately say so. Looks like many got some useful info out of this thread.

i did a sonoma last night 6 inch drop in back no notch. rides perfect. he has the toxic shocks from summit. i like these better than the doetsch. they dont let the back bottom out either

this could be the answer

to my bottoming out woes, i guess the good ole bilsteins arent short enough to handle a 6" drop. but then again i will be bagging my truck within the next 6 months so maybe ill be able to put up with it, and ill have to notch anyway i think

Ok guys, I've read this post a couple of times but I'm still unsure. I drive a Blazer X and will be using 3" springs up front (Whenever they are off backorder from Summit, ****ing *******s!) and 3" blocks in the rear. I don't exactly want to cut my bumpstops off unless it is absolutely necessary. Even with a piece of rubber on the frame I am a little leary consider the 200-300lbs worth of stereo equipment I have back there. I would much rather deal with a bumpy ride. Is it a necessity that I cut them off or could I get by even if I have to buy different shocks for the back. Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.

the blazer xs are different you have to just trim the top we did that on ours and its fine even with 5 guys in the back weighing 200 each

How did your truck get lower with cut bumpstops? Was it sitting on them already or something?

all the trucks i hvae done wiht a 5 inch drop or 6 sat on bumpstops. you cut them off they go down more becasue the bumsptops was holding them up

on the blazer x with a 4 inch block it was sitting ont the bumpstops a lot. by shavign the top off it sits one inch lower in back, but still sits on bumpstops but not that bad

oic mine is abotu an inch away form my bumpstops i'm thinking of trimming them a bit

cut them off a lot better ride

I think I will.

should u cut them with a 3" rear drop?

I didnt have any problems until I got to 4" I did trim down the rubber a little bit. (pointy end)

Speaking of 3/4 drops, does anyone have a pic of one. Thats what im gunna put on mine and juss curious what it will look like.

i like the old guy in the wheel chair with the big bottle lol

ok i've read this a couple of times but i'm a lil nervous about cutting the back bumps off the frame espessially if it doesnt help.....i have a 00 xtreme with a 3" drop in back with blocks if i cut the bumps completely off will i be safe with the stock shocks?! i want my factory ride back but i dont wanna smash the axle and frame together...THANKS!

you will be fine. just bend the brake line that sits on top of teh axle toward the back a llittle. i do that on all the trucks. because on mine the evap tank came down and cut the line, if you bend it forward its no prob
