Default Question about adding bumpstops to my tokico blues...

Hey guys, I'm going to start on the suspension and I was wondering, do I put my old bumpstops from my old shocks onto the Tokico blues??????
I'm doing a coil-over setup, and I was wondering if I would need to put those on????


thanks
bartek

yes, you would.

If you ever hit a hard-enough bump that it causes your shocks to fully-bottom out, the bump stops are the only things keeping the shocks from slammin in the end and blowing.

Kinda OT, where can someone buy some more bumpstops? Mine disintegrated when I swapped out shocks.

I'm not sure that you can even use the ones from you stock shocks; going w/o them shouldn't hurt much, but it may shorten the shocks' life.

My Koni Yellows happened to come w/ some KYB dust boots, so I used them on mine....
