I'm doing a 4" drop on the front - 2.5" spindle, 1.5" spring - and was wondering how much, if any, you guys have been cutting off the lower control arm bump stop.

With a 1.5" drop spring, I don' think you should have to
Trim bump stop. Drop spindles should not have a bearing
On this.

After getting it together if the spring compresses enough to hit the bump stops we'll be having other issues.
