Guys and Girls,
I have a 2/4 drop on my 03 and been experimenting with replacing the aftermarket polyurethane bumps stops with Aeon springs. I live in the country with roads that dip and are just plain rough. Occassionally I slap the frame pretty hard. That's history since installing the Aeon springs. Anyway a picture is worth a thousand words. So if there is any interest I'll fill in the details.

These things are made out of some kind of super rubber that can control tremendous forces in a impossible short distance. Good luck

The rears will squeaze to the hiegth of 7/8" of and inch and increase load capacity 1320 lbs. without increasing ride height, plus they are totally passive.

i bought mine from a business in Virginia Beach, the goto guy's name is Ronald and he can be reached at 757 675 6832. I used p/n A155-65 in the rear and A140-65 in the front. They come from Canada, but he has them dropped shipped to your address.

Saw the picture of the dropped 4g and thought you had a busy weekend. When are you going to start?
