Anyone using belltech rear bumpstops please read<<<

I don't think i've posted this before but you can cut the rear bumpstops to get more travel in the rear. This will get the most travel you can before the truck would slap axle on frame. If its still ride bad after this then its time for the free travel mod

Just cut it along the black line i show here and you will be good. Use top portion not lower cut portion

I already did this and cutting that little bit actually made a big difference. I definitely suggest doing it

Hey tony, I just purchased your belltech 2"/3"4" kit and I'am still waiting for the order, I have two Questions, 1. are the rear springs still in back order ? 2. Im looking to lower the rear only 3", do I need to cut the bumpstops also?........ and do i use the spacers or don't use the spacers for the 3" rear drop?

 

[NORCAL SS]

Yup rear kit still on backorder. When they come in they will all be sent out. If you only want 3 inches just use the spacers and honestly yeah id cut the bumpstops.

Thanks again for the info tony......... if you can just shoot me an email or post when the rear kit comes in I'll appreciate it. This way I can estimate the time I will be expecting it..

Just in case anyone gets a case of the dumbass like I just did, you're supposed to use the longer piece that's left when you do this. I actually cut my bumpstops and started to put the little button piece in there and got pissed for a second. I blame it on the intensity at work lately. Not my finest 30 sec.

Off to see how it affects the ride.

sooo i just cut mine down like this.... test drove got a nice clank... too short for texas

 

[bosworth496]

can you cut the stock ones and get the same result??

 

[Blazed]

correct me if Im wrong but i think the stock bump stops are a thicker foam as in takes more force to compress so i think by cutting the stock bumpstop would be a better option actually....
thats just from trying to compress with my hand like i said could be wrong
