Mine havnt been cut and I think it could be riding on them.Should I cut them?

I cut mine to the base knuckle front and back and haven't had a prob.

Bump stops are there to stop your components hitting other sh*t. Id leave em and slow down Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27405-cutting-bump-stops/#findComment-416075 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ride is a million times smoother and there's tighter turn in now.Are there bump stops in the front that could do with a trim?

I do remember cutting the bump stops and took nearly an inch off I think. Consequently my mate got the pleasure of test driving it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27405-cutting-bump-stops/#findComment-416427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
