I hear what you are saying, I never put the bumpstops on my 1st Gen.

I am worried about not having adequate testing time prior to using it as a daily. My concern stems from some components being pretty close to maxed out, not including the brake lines since they provide extensions. I'm worried about the electrical ABS line, hyper extending the drive line, rubbing exesively through dips / gutter, etc. The plan will be to carefully study those issues, but I need to install them for now. Its just too cold to do all the observations and all the good places are either frozen or snowed in.

I'm with you though on your thinking... timing.
