I just purchased Hotchkis springs for my TC and installed them without front bump stops cause my kit never came with them and I was needing to put them on ASAP. Should I cut the front factory bump stops or does it even matter? It doesn't ride rough or make noise, but just worried about future issues.

 

I installed TRD's on mine. I just cut the front stock ones.. Shouldn't hurt it.

 

You should use them, whether stock, cut or aftermarket, any type is better than none. During normal driving you should never hit the bumpstops, but they really come in handy if you ever fully compress the suspension.

 

Mine came with aftermarket bumpstops. IDK why yours doesn't have it...
