so i have sportlines on konis and wanted to know if i needed to cut the snow mans head off or do i leave it as it is. also i dont have the rubber thing under the spring to "hold" it in place is it necessary to have and is that why it squeeks on every bump form time to time? thanks for your thoughts
Well first off that's a bumpstop not a snowman yes cut it in half. Secondly the spring isolator is the other part your asking about only Monroe and kyb sell it seperate it's like 26 bux per side make sure u ask for the lower insulator.
I left my bumpstops full.
Wasn't too worried about cutting them
so what the hell is making the squeek /creek noise its pissin me off lol. when i have the car on the ground and push on the hood/fender it will sqweek. when its in the air and i move the tire up and down no squeek...this is where i think its A. the bump stop or B. the lower spring isolator
has any one else had a problem with this set up
should i just cut the bump stops, will it hurt the suspension if I do........whats the purpose of the bump stop?

Upper strut mount more then likely. Even with the car off the ground, you move the tire I DOUBT your going to be able to compress the suspension to what it is when driving.

You're supposed to trim the bumpstops approx. 25mm. They are there to prevent the frame from bottoming out. If you compress your suspension all the way the bumpstops will be the farthest travelling distance possible. With a Sportline drop, you should trim them. I know I did 6 years ago, never looked back since. Eibach recommend trimming them while installing their Sportline springs on 95-05 J's. Just do it.
