Default Hard Launch ???
Is anybody having issues with the axle hitting the bump stops on hard launches. Truck has 2/4 drop and the bump stops are shaved for clearance at normal height over 2 inches of space. Should I just C notch ??

My bump stops were like 3/4" thick and was still having issues hitting the frame on bumps. I did the c notch and still haven't hit the frame. Its a must have if your lowered IMO

More adjustability in my opinion. They both work.. Don't have to pull the leaf spring out of the front hanger when installing them.
