I would crank that adjuster up considerable then. Installed mine and laughed it was practically on the bumper.

Yes I used the stock rubber mount with my strange shocks and springs. Guess you didn't?

You will need to crank the adjuster nut up, I would say 3/4's of the way up or more for stock height.
