I just trimmed the rears ones on my H&Rs, not the front ones. The ride is good.

I wouldn't trim it. I did that and my struts began making weird noises.

I was getting the same sound. Struts weren't blow either. I have Maxspeeds and had Blues all around. I've since gone back to OEM struts in the front with new bumpstops and love it.
