I had a similar problem with a 28,000 GVW boom truck which we installed Hy-rail gear on so it could operate on RR tracks. Because of reduced suspension travel we extended the mounts on bump stops thus eliminating the hitting/rubbing issues.
I already have bumps on front and back. You can see one of the rubbers in the 3rd picture behind the tie rod on top of the spring plate. That was with it flexed out setting on the bump.
