Thanks.
That's what I think is my issue.
If I let all the air out of my air shocks, the rear tires rub the rear step fenders. But if I put enough air in the air shocks to keep the rear high enough to not rub, the ride is pretty stiff. I do have air bags that I plan on going with in a future upgrade. I'll resolve my ride height issue then.
