Default Bent bump stop
Any suggestions on how to bend an upper drivers side bump stop back out? I didn't have enough room and my bumpstop hit so hard that it bent the upper inward. Now it rubs on the spring.

You'll probably have to pull the coil out, then maybe take a crowbar see if you
Can bend it back . That's what I'd try first...

I tried the crowbar. That just isn't enough power. I think that next I will try heating it up first.

Could use this as an opportunity to cut it off and install hydraulic bump stops.

That is a great idea. I wish that I had the extra cash. I have been looking at the Kings and Fox ones.
