Zq8 axle bottoming out

[yx302]

Any solutions to stop bottoming out the rear axle? Its a zq8 with 2" blocks in the rear. I also have the nitro drop shocks. I removed the bumpstop comletely and i have maybe 2" of suspension travel at the most.

well you got good shocks and thats good. you could cut the whole bump stop bracket off the frame (if your truck has them i'm not 100% sure) which will help the axle travel up further. you could try air shocks instead which when aired up will lift the rear alittle but will help stop bottoming. after you cut the bump stop brackets you could add a bolt in c notch if you still needed more clearance.

I assume you have only removed the rubber bump stop. Your going to have to completly take out the bracket like blazen has said. Just cut the weld and knock the bracket out with a hammer.

My truck only as about 1" of travel in the rear, so the solution for me is a bolt in notch. but i can live with it for a while.
