Riding on front bump stops on 2WD after 2" drop?

It wasn't resting on them but the new ones are a little bit shorter than the trimmed ones I had, so I gained a little more travel and it does feel better.
I took the truck over a big dip on the freeway that I usually avoid because it would bottom out, but with the new ones it's cushioned better and doesn't hit as hard now (most likely I was hitting the metal part on the stock bump stops)

Edit: I ran out and picked up some from local Advanced Auto ( energy suspension P/N 9.9101g) 2 1/8 in. H x 2 in. dia. i cut an 1" off then installed them truck is riding a LOT nicer now but i think i'm going to look in to getting a softer pair to see if I can get it a touch better
this is a must do if you run drop springs up front
man i came to this section to find out how to make my truck ride better and i;'m going to give this a try i get a lot of bump steer and ride quality is horrible just checked my truck and i'm riding on the the stops heading out to the local auto part store to see if they have any

I would recommend the belltech's linked earlier, they are foam which will be softer than poly (imo you shouldn't run poly for a bump stop not enough give), they are progressive (gets firmer w/more compression) to give a good cushion, and 1.26" so you don't have to trim them.

I used the Hotchkis 2" lowering springs in the front. They came with a v-shaped rubber bump stop that replaces the stock rectangle one with metal around it. It is shorter by about an inch and v shaped. Bolt in deal. If you want a picute of this send me a pm.
