BFH mod? I just got my TT2 today. Im running 17X11s with 315s on the back. I didnt do the BFH mod, I just removed the bump stops. Worked out ok for now but I was curious if I would still need to do it. I dont have much clearance between the tire and the fender well. I have maybe 1/4 - 1/2 inch of space between them. I was thinking of just cutting the bump stop and trying to reinstall it, or maybe just leaving it off.
any suggestions would be great.
Also if I need to do the BFH mod would I leave the bump stop on while beating the hump or pull it off ( pretty much how do I do the mod)
Thanks for all your help

do a search in the appearance section

I had the page bookmarked, but its on my other computer

Hey how can I shave it off? I know I can cut the bump stop but what about the plate?
Also Ive done some searching, Can I just jack up the car by the axle and just reinstall the bumpstops? Will it rub when it is on the ground. I know it would wedge the bumpstop against the wheel if I jack up the car by the frame.

The ONLY time the wheel/tire is going to rub the bumpstop is when the axle is at FULL Drop. So there are only two conditions:
1: When you raise the vehicle other than by the rear axle.
2: When you wanna play Dukes of Hazzard . . . .
EVERY car that I've had with big wheels and tires I have NEVER touched the bump stop, and have had no issues . . . .

Well I did the BFH mod today and put the bumpstops back on. I did have to grind down a spot where the bump stop mounts but that was all. I also painted the back calapers. It all turned out really good. Thanks to all of you
