you an flatten the springs or go to Russ's air ride make sure either way you cut off the little stopping tabs on the tops of the axles so you get more travel..

Just a heads up

I cut those tabs off on my dump trucks axels and yes it allows the springs to flatten out and more travel is there but then I had to put the 4 shocks back on to limit its articulation. I found that when I cut those tabs off that the inter axel driveshaft would sometimes pop out of the drive cup when the truck was off roading. I tried a RC4WD scale truck driveshaft and it would slip out as well.

You are correct and the same thing happens when you add more leafs to the rear spring pack as well. It raises the frame from the axles allowing more travel and the center shaft falls out.
