Question FRPP drop kit ride quality?

With all the people here running with the FRPP kit, I was just wondering if the rear end bottoms-out much? To my understanding the rear is lowered 2" but shorter bumpstops are not included. It seems like the snubbers would hit the rails often. Any opinions? I would appreciate any opinions of those who are just running the lowering shackles, as well.

Thanks in advance,
Edward

It's my understanding that the rear shackels included in the FRPP
kit are 2 inch drop. Nearly everyone around here runs some type of 2 inch drop. I do. No problems that I have encountered. As for the coils I wouldn't know.

BellTech 2" shackles on mine with no bottoming out--stock bump-stops. I measured only a 1 3/8" drop maybe because I drive daily without the spare, jack, and hitch>

I installed the kit on mine and it rides exactly the same. My front lowered nicely, but the back still sits up too high. I have talked to a few others that feel the same about their 2" shackle drop in the rear. I think a full 2" off the front and 3 in the back is perfect.

Yeah I feel the same way, If the back sat about an inch lower it would look better. I'm just waiting for somone to do a hanger before I do.
