Can even bolt in the change in height shock mounts like I show here on my XJ.

honnestly recently i had been thinking bump stopping it an extra inch and fitting an inch longer shockie or lowering the bracket 1" would work and re-reading this thread just reconfirmed my thought's (would the control arms limmit flex? or is it just the shockies at this stage?)

Easiest way to make sure is release either end of the shocks and see if you can lower your axle further. Most likely the shocks still rather than the arms at your height.
