Do I cut the KYB boots/bumpstop?
Quick question, do I need to cut the bumpstop for fitment? Meaning, cut it shorter for the wider area will fit in.

Yes/No?

Thanks

Vic

if you bought the KYB bumpstops, then No...they're already shorter.

If you mean the stock ones, then I believe that you do.

YOu should not have to.
Reports about the KYB are that they are already set up as if you would have kept the stock dustboots and cut the stock bump stops.

the KYB on the right should be the front, the bumpstop looks to be taller than the ones that came out. If that's what it's supposed to look like, i'm just going to install it....

Anyone?

The stock bumpstops are about 2x as tall as those.

The stock bumpstops also extend INSIDE the dustboots, IIRC. That is why the KYB look longer.
