They are actually close to them on stock springs.

If they were not trimmed there would be less then 5mm clearance between the bump stop and arm.

They pull out easy and you can cut them with a hacksaw or sharp knife.They are easy to get to so you should have no dramas trimming them without having to pull then out.

If its none to complex I might have a crack myself.

Love the height, never had any dramas from police or anything.Haven't lowered the front yet because lazy.. And I don't know what springs to use.
