2000 dime std cab sht bed dropped 6in rear
, if i cut the bumpstop brkt out, the rear end will sit 2 inches from frame. wont it bottom out all the time? belltech springs, 3 in block, nitro shocks-the front is spindle and 2 in coils. also my truck has a heavy bed cover and the roof is in the bed-hardtop convertible-this stuff weighs about 350 lbs.

I GUESS NOBODY KNOWS. I THINK I WILL TAKE OUT THE BLOCK AND TRY IT AT 3 INCH. WITH THE WEIGHT IN THE BACK SHOULD LOOK LIKE 4 INCH

I have an ext. cab lowerd 7 in the back. Frame has about 1" of clearance from the axle. Notch it or use the frame as the bump stop to prevent over articulation/
