Bump stops

[JimmyJ_123]

It seems like when I go over a speed bump, they're bottoming out. Is it hitting the stop? Do I need new upper control arms? Or should I cut the bump stops? Thanks for the help.

I wouldn't cut them off, they are there to prevent over travel of the shock so it doesn't blow it out. If anything crank your coils down so it's not pushing your lower control arms down so far

The coils are set at 2" ?

You need upper control arms.

 

You will blow the ball joint and roll the truck, your angles suck.

My truck was exactly like yours is. i have fox 2.0 shocks all around, and had the UCA the same way. Bought a pair of Cognito UCA's. Without adjusting shocks below is how it's now sitting. Truck measures 40" from ground to fender

X2 Cutting the bumpers is like cutting your feet off at the ankles so the top of your head doesn't hit the door frame.
