) didn't yield anything.there really aren't many differences...mostly some options are now standard, and the 'X' trim...
mechanically they are the same, as far as we know.
it could be your springs have settled, or the bumper makes that much of a difference.
I know Grunzen thought that his front was nearly the same height as stock (not true..but lower than it was before the bumper) when he had the AC coils + shrockbumper.
Some people just get 'lucky' with the bumpstops, i know mine didn't do it that much, i really had to go over something pretty hard to bottom out, while others would get it all the time. but the bottoming out problem still exists on the newer ones.
either an AAL or a shackle will help cure the bottoming out problem, the shackle by putting some more space between the axle and bumpstop, the AAL by adding space, AND stiffening the springs alittle.
a popular option is the Timbren bumpstops, which are rubber springs which replace the stock bumpstops and soften that impact.
i have the shackle, and haven't had any bottoming out issues since installation, but i can see that its still possible to bottom out if you hit hard enough.
oh yeah, i really like that gray bumper.
