I read somewhere that the factory ones actually form part of the spring and shock rate...the way ford desighned it from factory. Is this true? Are the factory bump stops that criticle? Reason I ask is that the nolthane/Whiteline ones I have now are shorter then the factory ones and shorter the superpro oneswould it be wise for me to swap with factory ones or superpro longer ones? Or am I being picky haha.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
