Question Should I cut my bumpstops after installing TOKICO shocks w/ stock springs?

Installed tokico plain blue shocks (non-adjustables) with my stock OEM springs on my 93' SC400. I noticed the ride is a lot more choppy, bumpy, noisy. I can feel more bumps in the road.

Should I cut the factory bumpstops to allow more suspension travel? Will that even help?

Help and advice appreciated. THANKS!

No no no no no.. DON'T CUT ANYTHING!!! not a smart idea.... Accept that your ride will be a little harsher and you'll be happy

Yeah, those things are there for a reason; the suspension can only function within a certain range.
