I went to short urethane bumpstops, changed my exhaust to dump right before
the axle and the only thing the differential hit was the bottom of the bed.
I also had problems with the upper a arm hitting my headers but fixed that
with a sawzall. The 4" drop in the rear didn't allow for much cargo capacity
so I hope you didn't plan on moving furniture. just be careful with those
front springs the stock ones are dangerous when they come apart if you don't
do it right
