Excellent advice! We did test the movement of the suspension when we had the leaf pack disassembled to make sure we wouldn't have that issue. Since we only moved it an inch it still cleared.
We aren't too worried about it squatting too much either since the truck was just going to be for city driving and never really loaded with anything in the bed.
