I c no difference in my handling. Mines a pickup tho. The runner guys will have to answer that.. Low pro bumps on eBay. Mines a dd too. I just completely removed mine tho.

Just take the nut off the swaybar link on the bottom side of the control arm and see what you think about driving with no swaybar. I used to like it but now the body roll is annoying.

Yeeeep... I'm assuming the bump stops are there for a reason lol. But I've never came in contact with metal to metal after cutting them. I've never had anything to break either. By removing them I've probably gained a 1.5" more of travel. I've also adjusted my Torsion bars so that I absorb instead of bounce. To be honest I think I'm alittle to soft. I need to crank them up maybe a turn or two more.

I have done that too. I blew out a cheap shock from compression with this method. So far so good on my KYB gasAjust shocks. If I had to do it again I'd just cut the uppers. But yeah it really frees up some travel. As much or more than balljoint spacers (based on my own opinions).

Was there much tire slip or did it crawl up at those angles?
