Helper bags for the ride, and I agree with Blizz, keep the fenders flares.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Dont do that...look at my truck or JKs truck...they are both flareless drops on 3/5.... Yours adds character!!! DONT take them off, you'll regret it...it sets you apart man
They prevent the axle from slamming against the frame if you bottom out on something...the bump stops are huge rubber cushion cones attatched to the frame pointing down so that they absorb the hit instead of hitting the frame itself (which would be metal against metal)
They are large though...so when we drop our trucks sooo low (3/5 drop)...the truck is sitting lower now resting the bump stops on the axle..causing it to act like a spring on dips and bumps in the road
usually theres like..4 inches or so clearance between the bottom of the bump stop and the axle

And the mod we are talking about is just removing the bumpstop and its mounting bracket and putting a polyurathane pad in its place (which is about 1/10 the height) giving it clearance again
