If I hit a chuck hole the rear tire will drop into it and the rebound from that will make the rear end hit the snubber in the C notch. If I encounter a sharp dip in the road and am at speed the front tire will "kiss" the inner fender panel, but doesn't really hurt anything. I don't have any tire rub trouble while turning but I try to be aware if I'm going into a raised drive. The lower A arms have 3" ground clearance but go up with the tire so that's not a problem on speed bumps. Hope this helps. Phil
Oh and my front tires are 27.4" tall and the rears are 28".

how is the ride with drop springs AND blocks in the rear? did you replace or upgrade your shocks as well? seems like compressing the springs and shock with a lowering block would kill the rideability of the truck
