vs ute rear bumpstop rubbers

[vs hay hauler]

PLEASE HELP,
my vs ute has been lowered about inch and a half all round,problem i am having is it bottoms out with only 100kgs of weight in the rear.when i had look
underneath there was about 10mil of clearence under the bump rubbers.
i then check a friends,which is also lowered and it had about 50mil of clearence.i could see some markings on the rubbers i.e 80,75,70,65,etc
with a line in between each number,should these be cut down or replaced
with shorter rubbers.:bang:

I had the same problem when I lowered my ute. I then fitted lowered bumpstops and all's good. They're not expensive from memory. :thumbsup:

I cut mine, then took em out

you can cut them down but it shouldnt be bottoming out by only going 1 1/2 inches lower than stock.... are they proper lowered springs and how old are the shock absorbers?

bump stops are there to protect your shocks i wouldnt go taking them out altogether.

yerp my utes lowered a similar amount and i chucked a big block chevy motor in the back and it didn't bottom out.

Just cut them back a little and it will be fine.
