Well i currently installed the no cut illicit brackets on my truck. And now i am hitting the rear bumpstop cups. i am just trying to get all the ideas i can on how to fix the issue. I was thinking maybe just trying to trim the cups and the bumpstops down a little. Or do i just cut them completely out like i did on the fronts and get the energy suspension ones in pic below. Notice were my cup is hitting the axle bracket at the cup lip. Let me know what you guys do thanks

Get ahold of Gary Trail,he just went through the same thing with his "no cut" Illicit brackets,i'm not sure exactly what he ended up trimming,so you'll have to talk to him.

I cut the cup off and used a set of Belltech bump stops just the ones they give you for the front in their kit.
When you cut off the cup you'll see a hole in that mount the cup was welded to. I opened up the hole just enough to slip a folded a toggle(butterfly)nut fitted on the bump stop's threads thru. Then you just spin the bump stop till its tight against the frame, doesn't have to be super tight.
