Default Do I need to trim bumpstops?
When I crank down the torsion bars?

I was at 3" (36") from ground to top of fender. I cranked em down to just below 35" and now it sits on the bump stops. Is this a problem imediately or can I go to the track and trim them down tomorrow? I am low on time..

NM, I just realized how easy it is to trim them. I thought I was gonna have to remove the wheels and such. LOL

My last two trucks have always sat on the bump stops... '02 Avalanche 1500 4x4, and the SS here...

They touch enough to distort slightly.

the front bump stops generally always touch. i cut mine down as well as the rear ones, mounted the rear ones on the frame as well (w/o brackets)....
