So.....I completed the 5 Lug conversion, complete with 10.5 rear wheels, rolled fender wells and lowering springs. I noticed after completing the conversion, that when the suspension travels beyond a certain point and/or I have a passenger in the car when going over a bump, the tires rub. I still have the OEM pinion snub installed on the 8.8 Ford rear diff
WOuld a pinion snubber help? What height snub would I need? ? I'm running Eibach Pro springs currently

It's been along time but I believe I just bolted an adjustable snubber in place. I believe it was made by mac or comp engineering can't remember

Thanks.But I'm having a difficult time finding specs on the dimensions of the snubbers themselves. Even the adjustable ones don't list anything on LMR, American muscle etc....
I just need to see if its' going to surpass the vestigial OEM snubber that I currently have and give me what I need to keep from bottoming out

I'm also reading that there might be a Steeda product out there that is more like a bump/jounce stop (bolt on) either side of the rear frame rails?

Couldn't you just trim the factory one down enough
