relocating rear bumpstops?
for those of you guys who are running wide rear tires and had to remove the factory bumpstops, what have you done to relocate them? are they really needed, or just of concern if the car sits really low?
Pics would be great if someone has any.
thanks

You don't relocate them unless you plan on putting a lot of weight in the back of the car such as mentioned above. Typically you remove them and plate over the area like this.
