How about rolling the inner fender a bit?

Nothing to roll, it's flat against the inner fender. I have thought about welding it to the inner fender to keep it from pulling it down but if I go to that much trouble I might as well get serious and get the Air Ride stuff out and lay it out.

Keep in mind that 2" shackles really equal about an inch or so worth of drop... I have found that if I have weight in the back (like 100-160 pounds) it doesn't rub on the dip by my house.......In the back of my mind I keep thinking if I could get the rear down just another 1 - 1 1/2 I wouldn't have this problem as bad......I would rather get new wheels and drop it 2/4 so I could still pull my trailers....
