I don't know why people call it a mod. It means big ******* hammer. You will rub the bumpstop at stock height with 315's but when you lower it, you will rub the inner wheel well. So... the bfh mod means once the bumpstop is out the way, do a couple sharp, hard turns in a parking lot, unbolt the wheel and see where it rubs. Then take a 5lb mini sledge hammer and beat the hell out of the inner well until the metal doesn't push in anymore. You will need to do the entire well where it rubs including above and below the rub line. Then spray with rubberized undercoating. In my case I had to cut out the ENTIRE bumpstop and get an adjustable panhard bar so I could move the rear sideways and get even clearance on both sides. I also got adjustable lower control arms and they also helped out with the clearance. You must cut the bumpstop, beat the inner well, and get an adjustable panhard bar at a minimum but after all that I still rub on hard turns with 315 Nitto DR's.
