The installation takes leas time than rounding everything up.

As directed, jack the frame up until the front tire clears the floor ( or almost). I prefer to jack up one side at a time, it is safer. Place a jack stand under the frame for safety. Using a 10 mm Deep socket and 3/8 ratchet in the bottom of the existing bump stop, unscrew the existing stop. It comes out easily. Take the nut and washer off the sumo spring, they wont be used. Simply screw the spring into the existing hole hand tight.

Repeat with the other side. Takes less than 20 minutes.

The nut is not needed and the Sumo spring cannot back out because it is in constant contact with the axle.
This is true, but being a retired millwright with 38 years experience I used the blue Loctite. I've seen plenty of things happen that shouldn't have. Great post BTW.
