There are two ways you can help to alleviate this issue! The first way would be to add a small coil spacer to the front of the vehicle which would bring that bump stop up a bit higher, therefore, increasing travel before it hits the extension, but this would also level out your vehicle a little bit more so depending on how you like/want the stance this might not be the option you want to go with. The second would be to trim off some of the bump stop extensions provided in the kit. We recommend flexing the vehicle out first in order to see exactly how much bump stop can be cut off so that you don't in turn make your shocks becoming the limiting factor in travel. These diesel motors are heavy, and while there's not much that can be done to stop these vehicles from bottoming out completely, either of these solutions should definitely help out a good bit! Reach out to us if you need any further assistance or have any questions!
Why can't you make a stiffer spring? Say 200 or 210 instead of a 180 pound spring.
