bump stops
How many miles you have on your spring? I had 64,000 and put the 2" springs on today and what a difference. After and before pic.

PS: Read somewhere someone used hockey pucks for bump stops. So went over and bought 2 for $4.38.
If you are going to full bump stop and your tires are not hitting on anything but your shocks are bottoming out, it is a mount issue. Either raise the top mount or lower the bottom. Adding more bump stop will only reduce your articulation.
Is that photo at ride height?
As for over-compressing the coils? Never heard of such a thing.

I think you mean, or get some shorter shocks and don't move the mounts.. Right? The shocks look too long if that's ride height? Or the upper mount could be moved up... Longer ones and he wouldn't have any up travel, now he barely has any, which is why he's bottoming out just driving down the street. I'm curious...cause those are some pretty expensive shocks not to be properly set up

Here's a picture of the fear and so close to being able to wheel again

It looks like you've got it under control. I hope you can make those babies work for you. They look great. It looks like you got quite a bit of lift, if they say the shocks are for 0-2 inch lifts, they seem a little long though. I couldn't imagine placing those on a stock ride.
Raising the track bar mount on the axle will reduce the amount of side to side motion the axle experiences during full extension. The more level you can make it, better off you will be. If you raise the mount by the same amount of actual lift you have will allow you to re use the factory track bar as well.
