Default 3/5 Drop and the snubbers

Okay, did a 3/5 drop using McGaughy's suspension. In the front this is a 2" drop spindle and 1" lowering spring. Effectively lowering the truck in the A frames 1 inch. I'm close to the front snubbers and probably need to cut them some. Or.... is there replacement ones everyone uses? I guess I'm asking, what does everyone else do with the front and rear snubbers. The rears have been cut, but I still only have about 1 inch of travel. Once the bags are sorted out, and I'm putting some Energy suspension snubbers on the rear, I think that will give me the travel I want. If not, I'll notch it.

But, I am wondering what is standard procedure in regards to the snubbers if you've used a lowering spring in front? And have done a 5" drop in the back?

Thanks,

They sell shorter bump stop for the front, I don’t remember where I got mine. I’d never go 4” or lower in an ext cab without a notch personally.
