<strong>What would happen if I lowered my UCA bump stop mounts?? Or should I just cut off the mounts all together?

I removed the rubber bump stop a few years ago, but I am getting tired of the popping sound every time the suspension "tops out".

Anyone ever tried this??

Cheers

The outer birfield can withstand greater than stock angles and regularly does with the longer than stock A-arm kits, but the inner joint is limited in it's "in and out" movement and may pull itself out of the socket when fully extended without the bumpstop or bumpstop relocated. Not that I would go pushing the outer joint too much. It too could break when you least expected it.

The 2 or 3 inches of extra travel is probably not worth the risk of breaking something on the trail. Have you considered going with one of the longer than stock A-arm kits. They are a bit spendy, but well worth it, if an SAS is not your future. You can get a ton more travel than you ever could with the stock A-arms.
