Default Extended bump stops for taller rear axle blocks?

I installed a 2" leveling kit up front and 3" rear block out back. When I installed the rear blocks I didn't really think about the bump stops being too high. I will be doing quite a bit of hauling in the bed in a month or two because we are moving. With that said, i'd really like to get my bump stop somewhere close to the same distance as stock in the event that I load the truck a little heave or hit a bigger than normal bump while loaded down.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would just recommend getting a set of air bags
You will solve any of your hauling issues and they work great!!!!!

The bump stops are held to the frame with a single bolt. It wouldn't be to hard to build a spacer from a piece of pipe and a couple of washer's preferably welded welded to the pipe and a longer bolt to install. That worked for me.

do you have a picture of your setup? I was thinking of building some spacers but all of my tools and welding equip are currently in storage. That is until I move, which would be too late to build my own.
