That works too, but it's a pretty hard hit if the suspension bottoms out.

You dont have to cut them at all unless you go below 2". Although I cut like the first two ribs off to drop mine 1.5-1.75. You can cut them with a sharp pocket knife or a razor. A heavy duty box cutter would be ideal. Don't cut your arm off!
