Hey guys!
I haven't posted much before. But just bought a 2018 not long ago.
Last night I installed a 2/3 ground force kit. Me and the woman took it out for a spin.. the darn thing bottoms out all the time on dips in the rd.

Anything can do? Adding air bags in the coil is all I can think of. Looks to have 2 maybe 3 inches of clearance between the axle and frame(new bump stop)

Did you remove the OE bump stop cup or just install the new bump stop into the OE cup?

I have the same kit on my 2018 single cab, never had it bottom out yet. Did you replace all the bumpstops?

According to the 965SP installation instructions you retain the cup and just install the new belltech bump stop. Looking at the the installation pictures your bump spring position looks correct you could always trim it a little if you needed to. When you drive it around are you bottoming out a lot?
