I tripped my bump stops when I did 2" shackles, then got new shorter ones when I added the 2" hangers. Mine is riding no more than 1" from the bump stops, it doesn't bottom out unless I go over a speed bump.

Move the bump stop to the frame. Get rid of the bracket. There is already a hole in the frame for it from the factory.

Perfect. Thank you!

Now the rear measures 33 inches from the fenderwell to the ground.

Do you guys think I should remove my fender flares? I'm worried the flares might have rubbed the paint underneath it.

I like lowered z71s with the flares on. Think it looks pretty mean!
