    with a 4inch drop in rear your bump stops should only be like 3/8 to 1/2" thick, this is probally why you are bottoming out. You need to cut them down and this should take care of problem

    Update On Bottoming Out.......

    Well I was going throught all my recipts and saw the one from Summit Racing on my Edelbrock Ias shocks, and decided to look up the the number they recomended. Sure enough the salesmen sent me shocks for a stock height 4wd!!! I have a four inch drop 2wd. Now I know why I have 2-3 inches of travel on my shocks, and that's where I'm bottoming at. I talked to customer service, and they are sending me the right ones this time. I called Edelbrock to make sure. That should make all the diffenance in the world......
