Raising the lower mount would make it worse. Is that what you're asking?

Looks like he's running stock poly bump stops. You could get some king bump stops to help with bottoming the shocks out.

Question though are you actually bottoming out the shock or are you hitting the frame with the axle? Coil overs have a lot of travel my guess is you have too much travel for the amount of lift you have.

The Evo rock Stars raise the lower mount 1.5" so by him doing that he made his problem worse. Raising the upper mount would get him back to stock type lengths.

Just to add some info on the EVO bolt ons, the fronts are 12in coilovers and the rears are 10in

I found mine to work best at 5in of lift, a good balance for my 40x1550s

Photo is at 5in of lift

I have the same setup and have been looking at this lately. I noticed my jeep was sitting little lower in the back, so I increased the preload to 1.5" in the rear. Has leveled it back out, but next I think I need to look at the psi in the shocks or heavier springs.

Will any nitrogen fill shop be able to look at the psi and fill?

Yep thats my point. If the EVO bolt on kit has a issue with up travel why raise the mounts.
