i have a 1.5" drop and i havent cut them... if u drive in the city you really dont need too.. but on the freeway for instance when i drive to l.a every1 goes like 80 or 90.. and those l.a freeways are notorious for dips and whatnot...

yea i dont have a need to. well the ppl with bigger drops need to so they can have some luxury in the ride ya kno. cuz the bigger the drop the less of a distance the shock can travel till it bottoms out. cuz im pretty sure i dont wanna feel the bump stop after every little dip in the road
