I wouldn't remove the bump stops if I were just installing the lowering kit, no reason to. It's only to get another half an inch lower when slammed. I have air ride installed (Shotguns), so I can slam it when parked, but also adjust travel and stiffness while riding...

Yeah...that's what I'm looking for....my big ***, I crushed the right side of the fender on my old Honda on the caliper when I bottomed out after lowering it.....
