My understanding is the Goldlines were/are a bigger drop and they required the bump stop to be trimmed. I like the ride and have had no issues with bottoming or clunking noises like the Goldlines have had.

I have the leveling springs, and never cut my bumpstops. However, if you check my other post, I just had the entire back end jacked up and both springs came out.

Trimmed them with the 1st gen Goldlines on mine; didn't trim them on either of ours with the eibachs.
