    nope, you'll be ok just take am off and trim them. They have a bump in the middle just cut that off.

    Right now my front hits the inner fender wells before it smacks down. Thats only if i hit a big bump or dip they i didnt see. Or you can take them off and get the small bump stops from BEEFED TACO.

    If you're running factory size tires, they'll see the inner fenders first. Bfh time.


    That's what I did.



    Trim stops, bang fender wells, watch where you drive.

    yeah. ever since I got the 16" wheels, i've have no major issues with the rubbing up front. I guess the tire size up front was smaller than factory, and the tire size in the rear is larger than factory. mindf^ck

    A BFH what? Yes i took out the inner liner. Still hits, not all the time just on certain bumps, dips, holes. Plus my shocks are shot so that doesnt help any

    my truck actually doesnt rest on the bumpstops. i have some travel before it actually touches...

    so

    i was riding on stops

    i trimmed the top part
    and now it has a tiny bit of travel.

    bumps arent so noticable now!
