OKAY I NOTICE A BIG difference when you install bumpstops.. what does it do basicially do it stop the shock from bottoming out... and why on lower cars they recommend you cut them.. what happen if u don't cut them.. and what if the shock rides on the bumpstop when lowered is that bad or no..

 

bumps stops prevent damage to the shock by preventing it from completely bottoming out. and in some cases they even act as a secondary spring rate. you cut the stock bumpstop when you lower your car because your car is no longer at stock height and requires the bump stop to be cut to give it more suspension travel. and yes, it is bad if your riding on bump stops, you shouldnt be THAT low.

 

if ur lowered and don't cut bumpstop will it bounce more?

and also how do i know if i'm riding on bumpstop if i don't have any gap in the wheel well 2 check thanks

if your riding on bump stops the ride will be definately stiffer, it'll feel like your riding on really stiff springs. and you'll have little to no suspension compression travel, making your car skip over rough roads and high bumps.

one way to tell is to take a zip tie and tie it to the shaft of your shock absorber on the lowest part, touching the shock body when its at full droop. lower it back onto the ground...and relift the car and see where the zip tie is at, if its touching the bump stop then your riding on it. you can also do this after driving around to see if your compressing to the point your touching the bump stop.
