    You need to cut those bump stops down. Thats not much room to travel without bottoming out.

    The truck had 700lbs in the bed when the pic was taken. I figured someone would ask about that lol.

    Its not because of the load that I say it....I have the blocks removed on my truck and before I cut the bump stops it would hit with and decent bump.

    The bump stops had a extensions that I removed also. Without a load I have about 6.5 inches between the bump stops and the stop pad on the axel. I haven't had it hit the stops once since it was lowered. I drove 600 miles with the load and still never touched the stops. I might cut them down if they create a problem in the future when I install shackles. Thanks for the heads up I will keep and eye on them.

    Could be that your shocks are in better shape than mine also. Also could be that your leafs arent completely screwed. Mine are starting to make more of a "W" shape than the nice curve they are supposed to have.
