i swapped my stock rubber/foam bumpstops out for some energy suspension polyurethane bumpstops. bit stiffer than the stock ones and an inch shorter. then when i lowered it more i cut an inch off the energy suspension bumpstops. so depending how low you are, i'd cut at least an inch off, maybe even two. or just swap them out for a set of energy suspension ones for 10 bucks

Stock vs Energy Suspension Bumpstops PN: 9.9101GC


you can see they are about an inch shorter than stock. with my 3" rear drop the energy suspension bumpstops were fine. when i dropped the rear another inch, i cut off the stepped part of the energy suspension bumpstop, just leaving the 1" cylinder part

awesome. Since I am leaving the back alone and not adding anymore drop to the Roush at the moment, I will order those.

Thanks a bunch!!
