Default Bumpstop removal

My truck only has 2" shackles with spring clamps and it occasionally bottoms out on the stock rear bumpstops. I know alot of people cut their stock bumpstops but I want to replace them with shorter ones from Belltech, DJM, etc. How do I remove the stock bumpstops? I'm sure it's pretty simple...I'm just too lazy right now to look under my truck, LOL. Thanks!!

Not sure about 2WD, but on mine there was a bolt that ran through the middle of the rubber part. It all unscrewed pretty easily.

yeah you can pull the rubber part off with your hand or screwdriver and then unbolt it either 13mm or 15mm
