I have the same combo but factory shocks, I don't recall a time I've ever slammed a bumpstop. I've had mine converted for over 2 years.

This is how mine sits right now. There is about 200lbs in the back. I think that my springs are bad or I didn’t get HD springs like I thought

Wow coops2k - that is really close. I'd be curious if you need the bumpstop spacer. If there is no contact of the tire when stuffed I'd be tempted to take out that spacer or reduce its height. Do you feel it bottoming out consistently?

I don't like it bottoming out, but I need the bump stop spacers, to keep the shocks from bottoming out and hurting them. I spent the money to get HD Long Travel springs and larger shocks, Radflo 2.5 to give my GX the look I wanted and to help control it off road. I have already need to rebuild the rear from the bottoming out.
My problem is why are the springs not keep the vehicle higher, do I have the wrong springs, medium springs and not the HD ones I ordered or have my HD ones already worn out?

Aren’t you supposed to have 3” lift springs with Ext. Travel rear shocks? Then your bump stop extender would not be right on your axle.

I think so. I will try to look next week and see if I can read numbers off the springs. I am driving around Chicago this weekend and it seems like I bottom out every corner
