To remove the OEM bump cups is easy. Jack the beast up to give you some room under the truck and turn the wheels to expose the area. Use a screw driver to pop the rubber bumper out of the metal cup. Note: the dealer wants $30 for each. On my 03 there are two small spot welds that hold the cup. I used a grinder to cut the weld that was facing me and then drove a large screw driver under the cup and broke it free. Then ground down the rough edges and sprayed a little paint on it. There is a hole already there for the new polyurethane bump to be bolted into. I think I used 2" bumps and cut the top two landings off of it to give me 1-5/8". Good luck...

i did the exact same but i had an air chisel handy for the back side, loud but very quick. if you are lowered or planning on dropping do this it takes little to no time

I recommend doing this on any 2wd dropped or not. IMO Stock, there is just too little travel.
