What the heck are bump stops and where/why do I cut them?
because i didn't cut my rears per the test drives confirming i could not
get the rear bumpstops to hit while on normal driving, but on the front
you might be limiting yourself on the sus stroke quite a bit.
Found out how much to cut RIGHT after i posted that, from this. Thanks anyway.
depends on the ride quality. i dont think it really matters on the rear

It will make a difference on the back only if you load on the back with passengers and/or cargo. It will ride as if you have no springs and shocks-"hard tail baby"!
If you are riding in the car by yourself or one front passenger and light load on the back, you will never reach the lowest point.
BTW, picture I posted are from the rear shock. Bump stop is inside dust cover on the top of the damper. As I stated earlier, you will need to drill "punched in" point on the metal tube to slide it out. It is not hard to do at all, just adds complexity to the process - electric drill & drill bit!
