    dragginNCrds; Before towing mine bottomed out sometimes at bumps or deep road indentations with my 4+in drop at the rear . While towing it did it a little more often. I raised the rear lowering shackle one hole and is much better now. Picture above is before rising it.
    did your driveshaft hit though ??? mine is stock height and it still bottoms out.. somebody told me to get some air shocks and put on it for towing.. id like to level it out or maybe a 2/3 but I'm gonna tow with it and cant keep bottoming out like that..

    got up under it.. there is a line around the driveshaft and a newly polished spot on a crossmember.. and when it hits u can tell that whats hitting is rotating.. my driveshaft use to hit on my bodied s10.. i know what it sounds like.. but i crawled under it to make sure..

    I will have to crawl under to check again and make sure mine is not making contact. But I'm pretty sure what hits in mine is the axle at the bump stops which are destroyed. Do you have C-section? I don't. Just that never heard someone having the driveshaft bottoming out
