I had no issue scrapping at all with my 3/5 with the stock 18" tire on my 2007 fx2.
don't just try to jump speedbump though

there was some rubbing against the top of the inner fender on really big dip in the road, but other then that it was fine.

Just Screen Shot it with a Iphone or Ipad. I see some comments from guys with 04'-08' saying no problem..Their trucks are different, 09' changed alot with the Frame/Cross Members.. So if your 09'+ like me & my cousins you have less clearance. But the info I gave you is all first hand knowledge with our Body Style.
Last if you get the Belltech, you have to leave all the spacers out in the front or the rear Flip will be 1" lower and look funny. So it ends up 3.5/5.5.

Yeah I've been told that before there's actually a forum about a guy talking about his truck being lower in the back then the front and someone said the exact same thing. But hey brother I appreciate your knowledge. you helped alot!!

While I am not dropped more than my 2" shackles, I love my 285/50/20 Cooper Discoverer HT Plus tires. A little smaller diameter wise than a 275/55/20, but almost 1.5" wider.

My issue isn't the scraping on the front wheel liner or frame, it's hitting the bump stops on the rear axle and needing to install helper bags on the rear because the rear drop was larger than advertised.

do you still have the stock bump stock?
How much is the drop?
which kit? did it have a rear lifting shackle?

I'm using the bumps from the Belltech kit. The kit was supposed to be a 3/5 with the rear being a flip axle. Ended up dropping closer to 6" and had to install helper bags on the rear to bring the sagging rear back to level.

It's called a 3/5 but Beltech tells you in the directions its a 3.5/5.5 without spacers up front, otherwise the rear is lower @5.5".
