WRONG!!! I did not take my springs back out to cut the bumpstops.Lift the car in the air,move the dust boot and youll be able to move the bumpstop out of the boot and cut it with tool of choice.tis how I did mine

Is this with the front?!

The reason I dont wanna take the springs off is because I just got an alignment yesterday. 85 dollars!

Yes with the front.still typing hold on

when lifted in the air you can move the boot around.You are able to push the bumpstop out through the boot and I used a big pair of wire cutters to cut them while they were still around the strut.Disassembly is NOT required to cut the bumpstops

Thank you! I knew there was a way somehow.
The boot is the thing covering the bump stop in the front, correct? Plastic?

Sweet, big help! Preciate it man!

Ill be sure to cut them.
And the rear, you can just see the bump stop as you jack the car up?
Even easier right?

How did you measure cutting the bump stops? Rough estimate?
