Quick question.. cut the bump stops? OME Install today!

My OME suspension is being installed today, I just want to know if I should tell the shop to cut any of the rear bump stops down? It's a 2000 4Runner LTD 4WD, it appears to have the long connical bump stop inside the spring. I believe all the problems I have with this 4Runner is actually the excessively long bump stop causing a bottom out situation. So should I tell them to cut down the rubber stop a bit? If so, how much should they cut?

Thanks!

I would not recommend cutting. Your longer spring will help.

Thanks! I just wanted to clarify! I'll post some pics later today when the install is complete.

While we're at it.. Can you confirm the which corner the trim packer goes on ? I thought it was driver front but now I can't remember. It was the one that came with your kit.
