H&R says they are designed to be used with the factory XI shocks.

Yep I can tell the bumpstops are not cut 'cuz I think it sits higher than mine ... but still look much better than stock height.

These are the H&R sports for the XI. I'm usung factory shocks and did not cut the bumpstops.

I used to believe them when they said that, but they are FOS! There's no way to design an after-market spring to work with OEM shocks. The rebound rates are totally different due to different spring rates of the H&R vs OEM. Any expert who knows his stuff would laugh at that comment by H&R. Hopefully your ride will be acceptable, though.
Just enough height still so I don't scrape entering/exiting the driveway.

How much of a drop did you go with? It looks pretty low!

Pre bump-stop cut in front/back vs. Post bump-stop cut. Was I riding on them? You be the judge.
