Default bump stops

should the bump stops in the back be cut or replaced when putting df210's on the xb? i have seen a lot of posts saying you should cut the front bump stops, yet none one even mentions taking off the back shocks.

thanks[/list][/quote]

2 inches? i have read everywhere 1 inch in front. the only reason i even thought about cutting the rear bump stops is that i was reading the hotchkis installation guide. besides that i have never seen the rear bump stops mentioned.

i cut off the stock bump stops of from my rear shocks and put in the replacement ones that with hotchkis springs. It keeps the shock body and piston super clean. I cant imagine getting all that dirt and road crap on my shock piston and then when it compress it kills my shock seal... Not a good deal.
