Yes, the manufacturer requires that the bumpstops be lowered by 2 inches to prevent the shock from bottoming out and sustaining internal damage.

The twin-tube design is ideal for street comfort and durability, providing a smooth ride while protecting the internal components from road debris and physical impacts.
