Once you trim your springs and put back in and have the SRT sitting on the ground, make a another mark, the difference between the two marks will give you guidance on how much of the bump stop to trim.

Here is a picture I took sometime back. I did not do this at first and on hard bumps the shock would hit the bump stop instead of traveling a bit further.

BTW - Eibach tells you do this same exact thing. Lowering is lowering. The shocks are a breeze to R&R.


Can you describe your picture?
