Thanks for the link, I'm definitely going this direction. More flex AND a better ride, I'm sold.

back on subject: If you are okay with the compressed length ride height you can drill a hole through your 2"x2" and add an additional spacer on top. Hockey pucks are often sugested for the front and would work in the rear as well if a bolt is run through them ( I'd use a carriage bolt).
Honestly, my compressed length ride height sucks. There's not enough travel for me. The Ride height isn't terrible empty but add camping gear and the thing bottoms out way too easy. Also, I flexed in the driveway (no shocks or bumpstops) and the rear tires will almost tuck which would be a huge improvement from this picture:
In the spirit of keeping it low I would like to improve the overall travel.
I appreciate everyone's input, it always to get a second opinion.
