next pop open the hatch. pop out the two shock tower covers.
right and left. i only have a picture of the right one. look and
you will see a hook facing up wards. this is the cover to pop
off using a screw driver. repeat on the left side.
now that the covers are off unbolt the shocks.
ah before i forget. we are taking the shocks out because
of this.
the one to the left is for the front.
the one to the right is for the back.
the bump stop is under the shock cover well hidden.
now that we have the shocks out take out you bump stops
and cut them.
ah but wait it's not that easy. make sure you have a small and medium
screw drivers handy for this. also a hammer and a vise.
hard to explain. sorry i didn't take pics of this process. by this time
i was very frustrated.
but anyway you will see a sleeve on there that just doesn't want
to come out. this sleeve is crimped in. so start with your small screw driver an dhammer it in the crack of the sleeve. thus speeding the
sleeve and making it bigger. you will most likely have to move to
the bigger screw driver to achieve this.
but now the sleeve will come out.
cut you bumps off and your all set.
here are some pics thanks to Malice101
the first one shows the top of the rear shock.
you must remove that metal sleeve to get to the bumpstop.
i used a screw driver to open it up by twisting it.
also don't forget when putting your new springs on. watch out for
that bottom rubber bushing. it only goes on one way. it has a nipple
on it and goes back only the whole it came out of. it may look like it
will go back in any hole but it doesn't. so make sure you mark it
so you don't forget.
now you can put everything back together in reverse.
should look like this when done.
