Bump stop ?'s

So, if you cut the bump stops off for clearance, what do you do to insure the axle doesn't bottom out on the frame rail?

You'd have to have a lot of weight back there to even touch them. Think the tires hit the wheel wells before the axle hits the frame with them removed

Re: Bump stop ?'s

I know one dry rotted off on my Formy with stock rear tire/wheel combo and it was banging all the way home from Indiana. I'll probably rub up against the ASC "massaged" wheelwell on the 'vert. Just wondering if there's a way to prevent it.
