I wouldn't remove the bumpstops. They aren't that expensive to get replacements. I spent under 40 bucks for both.

Some people remove them, some people dont. I think you risk breaking your shocks with them out. It's a controversial subject.

You can get them from your local dealer, they probably have to order them, or you can get them online. I don't believe the local parts store will carry them.
