I just had my Tanabe Df210 installed on my xb and i have the trd shocks, the bump stops where not cut which tanabe recomends, anybody not cut theres and have any problems or should i just do the obviouse and go back and have them cut them? THanks for any help

my tanabes springs came with tanabe bump stops

My Df didnt just springs and the silencer tubing

im runnin on teins stechs and i didn't cut my bumpstops i have no prob so far they been on for a year now

cool i just didnt know if it was worth it to pull apart the front suspension again, anybody else?

I have the exact same set up as you (Tanabe springs, TRD shocks). I used the stock bump stops, and I didn't cut them. Even though Tanabe says to cut them I wouldn't because you need that extra cushion for hard bumps...... :P

awesome thats what i needed to hear thanks

By not cutting the bumpstops you are limiting the travel of the shock body to only a few inches, if that, and it could become a problem once the springs settle and when you have a heavy load or multiple passengers in the car. Cutting them allows for more dampening of the shock over bumps. I've cut mine, and I would reccommend having them cut, but it is a matter of personal preference.

My DF210's did not come with bumpstops either. :ponder:

ill leave mine uncut... doesn't make a difference on the drop but it will when a nice pot-hole comes around gives you a lil more flex room.... its not like the bumpstop is made of metal it will flex... but yeah personal preference...
