Basicly after you grind your calipers, load the rear, then check and see if the tire hits the bumpstop. If it does, just take your grinder to the bump stop.

After I put the 15x10s on with 275/50/15 M/T DR's I put jackstands under the frame and let the rearend drop until the bulge of the M/T touched the bumpstop. It looked to me that I'd have to do some dukes of hazard type jumps in order for them to touch. It was almost at full extension of the suspension before they touched so I didn't bother with the bumpstops. Should I re-think that decision?
