lowering kit issues

So im trying to decide if im going to lower my 2011 fx2 the 2/4 or 3/5. I have had a lowered truck 2006 chevy silv. (3/5) before and when I put my 4wheeler in the back and hit any kind of bump I was banging the bump stops.*

My question is whats the deal with the pinion angle? I havent ever messed with any of that neither do I want to.*If I did either of these do you guys just trim the bump stop or buy a replacement?

helper bags.

as for the pinion angle, do you have a 2pc driveshaft? What kit are you using in the rear?

Is doing either very hard? Is it something the install instructions will walk you thru?

the hardest it the carrier kit which need to cut and redrill the mount on the crossmember.
You're able to do it with a grinder and zip-cut disk.

I did mine on simple jack stand.
