Lowering springs = can’t use bump stop?

Thanks, guys. I like the idea of cutting down the snubber.
How much space would you recommend that I leave between the rubber and the body when at rest?

Stupid Question...Are you trying to compress it with the snubber in there? I only ask because my Hotchkis springs seem more pliable than I would have thought, though I still have my car stripped, so no load on it whatsoever. But I am worried that it will be too squishy when I am done.

Not a stupid question at all. This is how I discovered the lack of clearance but My snubber is now off the car and still, I'm able to bounce my 200lb girth on the bumper without much movement at all. So...sounds like we have opposite problems.
