After I chop I am pulling out my bumpstops. Those 35s are gonna mega stuff.
I found that I over-compressed the springs without bumpstops. Any opinions on just how bad it is to bottom them out?

I'm sure it would. I haven't gone middin' with them chopped yet. Check out my profile to see a really muddy JEEP. I do have my own pressure washer, so that makes clean up pretty easy. They do flap at high speeds. Not much though. I will probably throw some Gorilla Glue on it.
