For the guys with the McGaughy's drops, would you recommend ordering new bump stops from them or just getting some from Auto ZOne or somewhere like that. The kit I got is used and did not come with the bumps. I am gonna get some for the front from AZ, but didn't know about the back ones?? Any help would be great. If anyone has a pic of the bump stops from McGaughy's, I would appreciate being able to see it. Thanks for the help. Hopefully this will go on very soon!!

I didn't like the bump buttons that came with my kit. So I ordered a set from Jeg's #19-1314 Bump Stop 1" Multimount Made by Prothane Motion Control. Just got them today. I haven't mounted them yet. But they are certainly bigger than what I now have on there.
Update: I went out to the shop and compared the new bump stops with the hole spacing of the original bump stops I took off a long time ago. The holes on the new bumps are about a 1/4" off. The holes on the new will need to be slightly lenghtened. Not a big deal but I wanted to mention it as they are NOT direct bolt on's. Good Luck...

Hey guys...didn't think to ask this earlier but just occured to me the other day. So as I have mentioned before I will be lowering the rear with the drop shackles and I've pretty much decided I would do the O/L delete to achieve that level I want. So what about the shocks do I need to change those or can I leave the bilsteins that I got on there? BTW this past week I put a new grill, headlights, and magnaflow dual exhaust on my ride! Had a flow master single on before. Big improvement to me.

Extenders...wow that shows how little I know about this. For some reasonI was thinking that dropping the rear would compress not extend the shock, but after seeing how the shackle functions I get it now. Glad I asked. So the 2" Mcgaughys drop shacks that I got on order is going to come with the extenders? Didn't see them listed on the description for this.
