you have lowering springs. the bump stops are made for stock springs.

you cut off about the same amount as the drop your springs provide. otherwise with sorter spring you can be hitting bump stops at full compression(which is going to pretty rare anyways).

^+1 Just take a hacksaw or something to them. I cut about 3/4 inch off for my NF210's and it was fine.

hacksaw with some grease should make your life much easier, mine were pretty tough.
