Question Lowered truck/have a question

I had my truck lowered yesterday using a Bell Tech lowering kit,
2-4 drop, the front a-arms are now sitting on the bump stops, I know the front end will go a little lower if it wasn`t for the stops, can I trim the bump stops down a little to fix this problem?, any help is appreciated.

Larry.

The Bell Tech kit should have come with a set of shorter bump stops.

the kit has shorter bump stops for the rear, and you can trim down the front ones

Question

The only bump stops in the kit that I saw were for the back.
Is it not a good idea to just cut the stock front bump stops down a little?, how do you remove the front stops?.

The yellow bump stops up front will "pop out" of the cup. If you look at the side of the cup you will see some tabs indented toward the bump stops. you can insert a screwdriver to gently assist in pulling out the stop. You can also use a small saw to cut in place. Also there is a nut on the top side of the cup to remove the cup and stop as a unit. hope this helps
