bump stops when you put on your springs?
Jimbo, when you lower your car you should trim the bump stops respective to the amount of lowering. Lower 2", trim bump stops 2", etc.

If you lower your car and don't trim the bump stops you limit the amount of travel to the suspension.

Think about it like this, if you left your car the same height but added 2" to your bump stops, you would hit the bump stops sooner, limiting your suspension travel. If you lower your car 2" and don't trim the bump stops you're doing the same thing, limiting your suspension travel. By trimming them you keep the same amount of suspension travel. Does that make sense?
