Default Bottoms up

I'm about to order springs and eventually will have the NKB rear bumper installed onto my xB. Does anybody know if the rear bumper from NKB's body kit will bottom out with Goldline springs installed? ? Anyone know if the rear bumper is taller/ hangs lower than stock?

it shouldnt except in extreme situations. I hit my back end 3 days after getting my df210s installed. Learned to be even more careful. My advice is just to be super careful.

I've got 18s with 215/35's. I will only be adding the rear bumper from NKB... unless I find that bottoming out will be a major concern. Seeing that the kit is comprised of fiberglass. I'd rather not run the chance, of cracking it.

Hmm, I don't think you'll have a problem. Unless of course, you go to airbags.

I know, I know. I just can't afford to have them on a daily driver that does 160 miles a day.

Thanks for the comments. Would hate to bust ___ after putting it on, i'll do more math on it later. Figured there may be someone out there with a 2in drop and nkb body kit on it...? If it ends up being an issue I'll just have to get another stock bumper cover :?

With the short overhang on the xb, the rear bumper actually isn't usually a problem.. unless you back into a parking block or curb, but otherwise, the exhaust is usually the first thing to scrape in the back
