howz it? just joined this thing. i just recently had my truck lowered using a 5"/7" mcgaughy lowering kit. i really love the way it looks. but the problem i have is that its so low that the bottom keeps hitting and grinds like crazy on uneven roads and its scares the *** out of me. is there anything i need to worry about down there from getting damaged? ive looked down there and it looks like the thing thats getting sraped are these three bars, 2 that go diagonal and 1 that goes across in the back where the bed is. but then again im not sure if thats all thats hitting down there. now im not sure what to *** should i lift it up a little bit? any ideas or suggestions?

Maybe put some slightly stiffer shocks & springs so you don't get as much suspension travel. That might prevent some of the bottoming out & scraping.
