Im using the evo diesel 2.5 springs, so I guess close to 3.5in if we are comparing to a non diesel.
I’m on 3.5” RK springs and they do hit the frame at full stuff.......

When you have a lot of articulation the spring perches get out of alignment with each other when compressed, the spring has to bow. Unless you have long arms then the axle stays centered in the wheel well during articulation.

OCD insisted I put some fuzzy side Velcro where it hits, it deadens the blow a bit, but that’s just how it is inside my head....:facepalm:.
