wow. i think everyone here knows how much of a whiny little woman i am...if i were slamming on decent sized bumps, i'd take em off and check the shock insert operation by hand......with a box ready to send em back to bilstein, bma, whomever if i found even the slightest irregularity...that's the whole reason you replace shocks, to keep it from slamming on bumps.
ps, i guess if you were to take em out, you could put the stock springs back on the front to make sure.....lotsa hardware from bma, but if the shock is dead and its gotta lifetime warranty.....better to do it sooner than later.
