SSoCal Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 i know some people have talked about cutting or replacing bumpstops with the mcgaughys kit and others have said theres nothing needed. i called mcguaghys and asked what if anything else needed to be done and they said 'nothing'. so how many have had to do that? show of hands..

cokedrvrbjw Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 You dont have to, but it improves the ride in my opinion. Thats why i did it, its very simple to do both. For the amount of work to the amount of benefit, they should suggest it. I cut the front bumpstops down about an inch, and removed the plate that the rears were mounted too and then mounted them to the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r8rs4lf Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I didn't have to cut the bumpstops up front, but the rears were replaced with some shorter ones when I had the drop installed. It still hits when I have a full tank and go over a big bump. I plan on installing the stock ones, but cut down a bit. The stock ones are alot softer than the ones on there now.

cokedrvrbjw Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 r8rs4lf before you cut the back ones, try the frame mounting first...youll be happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSminneapolis Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 i had to cut mine. the truck was runnin on frame...was not fun driving...trust me i made it from MN to KS and back with it like that... i cut the front ones a bit. then mounted the rear ones to the frame and cut them down. runs fine now. and make sure when you install that the shackles and hangers are mounted in the right holes...the shackle is 1" hole and hanger is 2" hole...with that i experienced no vibration...
