1997 yukon bump stops

[joejoe4301]

I got a bout 188k on my yukon and my rubber bumpstops are completly gone. I have noticed that the bottom of the upper control arm is mighty close to the top bracket of the bumpstop. should i take a saw and cut it off or replace it? I have tighened the torsion bars so that my 285s dont scrub and thinking about tighting a little more because i'm fixing to get new BFG's. any suggestions? also where can i find some shock extenders?

Replace them, they are there for a reason. Do not cut any of that off. If cranking up carefull not to go too far.

Thanks for the input on that. I still have about an inch left on the bolt on both sides of the truck. I am about to replace all the control arm bushings with polyurethane set from performance suspension, the ball joints, and the tie rods. That is why I was wondering if I should cut them off while I was there working. Any suggestions on shock extenders? I am using a monroe shock and enjoy the ride and offroad comfort that they give and don't have the extra funds to buy longer ones. I reckon I only need about 2" or so just to be on the safe side.
