I would remove the factory bumpstop & bracket. Install a bolt-in notch & then adjust the supplied bumpstop so that it keeps the rear end 'pumpkin' from touching the bed floor.

The kit I got from CPP had a urethane bumpstop included (like a traction bar snubber) but I've learned they might now come w/the short 'pancake' style urethane type. In order to get the last bit of suspension travel possible while keeping the rear from touching the floor, the short type might requiring 'shimming' it up to make it taller & the longer type might require cutting it down.

Perfect..just ths info I wanted. Now how hard is it to install a bolt in notch? What do I need to worry about when doing it?
