Just take out the bump stops... thats was the first thing gone on my truck... rides fine with out them... just get new shocks, and it shouldn't bottom out to hard (does sometimes on thsoe big bumps) but its fine...

AND if you dont like it... 2 bolts and there back on...

Be careful that the shocks arent bottominig out internaly. That will wreck them pretty quickly.

Cut the bump stops down to half height. Or find some smaller/shorter ones to fit.
