Cutting bump stop
y0!
recently I just put in some GC with KYB AGX and didn't cut the bump stop when doing it , and now I finally have the chance to do it.
How hard is it to cut the bump stop?
And kind of special tool?
Should I take it out of the shock and cut it?
I was thinking of using a saw....haha
any ideas?
thanks

It is pretty easy cutting the bump stops, I just use a hack saw it works great, and yes take the bump stop out and then I put one end in a vise not to tight and cut the bump stop. Hope this helps, Jordan.

Re: Cutting bump stop (intezn)
I always have a sharp knife with me at all times. I didn't lower my hatch I had someone do it for me (didn't have the time to do it myself). I lowered my old 4 door I used to have and I cut the bump stops with a knife in the middle of a parking lot. They're really easy to cut. Any cutting tool would do fine, hacksaw, knife, sawzall, whatever your choice. Good luck

Re: Cutting bump stop (intezn)
It's like slicing bread, if you have a sharp utility knife. That stuff is just a dense foam.
Taking it out is the best way to do it, you may risk nicking the shock shaft.
