Install, drive around, see if they hit, then cut if needed.

I thought these come with instructions on how much to cut off and where to cut. I guess I will find out as I plan to order these as soon as I get some extra money. I also have a second set of stock bump stops lined up so I can cut one set and keep one set if I ever go back to stock.

you would probably have to cut about 1/4 inch or less than a 1/2 inch off from the top of the bump stop. ONLY cut if the instructions tell you to do so. you can also call tanabe for help.
