How can I eliminate bottoming out without FTM?

[m1949]

I'd like to hear from anyone who has lowered/leveled your ride and NOT done the "free travel" modification. I used the 2"/3"-4" Belltech kit. Mine is set at 2/4 and bottoms out. I can add the spacers and go to 2/3" stance if need be. But, I'd like to avoid the FTM if possible as I may choose to go back to OE airride in the future. Here are my questions: How much is your ride lowered? Those who used Belltech with spacers, does the 2/3" stance avoid bottoming out? Did you go some route other than 1" spacer or FTM to prevent bottoming out? Thanks!

The FTM doesnt prevent you from going back to stock. Other than the location of the bump stop which you can move to empty spot on the axle
