Installing h&r springs/mm spacers this weekend. How much (if any) have you guys been trimming the bump stops in the rear? Also if I replace my diff bushing with the cradle out from under the car will I need a ratcheting wrench to get the diff out? I'm doing diff bushing, cradle bushings, cs trailing arms and toe rods, axle seals, and gforce econo axles along with the h&r springs...I assume I only need a ratcheting wrench when dropping the diff with the cradle still in the car? Thanks for any help, any pointers are welcome...first time dropping the cradle..

One more question...what are you guys using to keep the rear brake lines capped off when pulling the cradle out? Will plastic hose pinch clamps work?

Call Creative Steel and get their custom tools for diff and cradle bushings will make life so much easier and yes you do cut the rear bump stops with the m&m kit

And the cradle stays in the car with their tools no need to remove it from the car

I'm sure the CS tools work great but I've got a drill and a sawzall and will be doin' it the old fashioned way unfortunately. My buddy owes me some help after we swapped catless piggie pipes on his s4 so I'll have some extra hands at least.

How much needs to be cut off the rear bump stop roughly? Like half of it?

I just went to a auto zone and got a package of vacuum caps to out on the brake lines. Worked perfect

IIRC I only took about 0.75-1.00" or so off of mine both front and back.
