One more question before I buy. Say I buy, cut the bump stops down. Then, say I do not like the look or the ride(which I doubt, but say I don't'), I cannot buy new bump stops for the stock springs. Any ideas?

For the leveling springs, you do not need to cut the bump stops. I know I didn't, and it seems to be alright.

The shop that installed me full set forgot to cut the bump stops. So far, so good. If I notice it becomes an issue, I can always have them cut.

Never cut my bump stops either, and have had no issues. Rear levelling only.

my kits instruction booklet said do NOT cut the bump stops, and mine is leveled and lowered.

Well I did it. 45 minutes of my time and the springs were installed. Really like the look over stock height. But, I got the noise. If it quits raining, I am going to loosen and turn the right side spring to try to eliminate the nopise.
