    That's where I was before I cut mine down...made a big difference. It used to skip all over the road when you'd hit a bump going around a corner...but no more.

    Just a question here

    Is it important when trimming a bump stop that both sides are trimmed equally? If so how exact should it be?

    On my other side, the bottom horizontal part is a little thicker than this side.
