hmmm, does removing the overload allow the suspension to bottom out more easily? i have a set of regular old track bars i intend to install soon so wrap shouldn't be a problem but they dont touch the leaf springs like those other 2 designs. with a belltech c-notch will the axle bang the bumpstops under normal city driving without an overload spring and plain traction bars and 4" drop?
