chopped my bumpstop area
ended up saving 5 pounds in just metal.
i threw the bumpstops away years ago, im sure they were another 2 pounds per side.
Chit tore up some wheels. dust is everywhere.
i think i ate most of it.

Re: chopped my bumpstop area
my tire would hit that area and would not let the rearend hang with wheels/tires mounted.
all is well now.
it wasnt a big deal, i just had to take the wheels off with the rearend at ride height.
mainly looking to remove weight.

Re: chopped my bumpstop area
i would say it was safe for a daily if you put a bumpstop on the shock. you can get them from afco, or 4x4 dealers.
if you lived here[pensacola] you wouldnt need any bumpstop. roads are farily level here. ive only bottomed out one time and it was some roadwork that wasnt lit up or marked.
