I have Belltech front springs on my truck, in my opinion there to soft. with the Belltech coils you will notice your truck will dive into corners, with the stock springs the truck is flatter in the corners, as for the front bump stops, you can just cut down the stock bump stops, thats what I did and I havn`t had any problems. as for the spring isolators you can use the stock ones.

What exactly does shaving the front bump stops accomplish? Smoother ride, or more drop, or what?

I switched from Hotchkis front springs to BellTech front springs and my truck launches much better at the drag strip. It doesn't handle as well, but it is still pretty good.

Cutting the bump stops will give increase the suspension travel, this is important since the front will sit lower.

My Belltech will be going on this weekend.
How much needs to come off the bump stops?
