Yea rolling the guards is prob a last resort. I've been looking it over and I think slightly smaller tires would make it work. Looking at the 235/70/15 size.
Bump stops have about 2-3 inches of travel before hitting the axle. I never haul anything in the rear.

Have only driven it in and out of the garage (rubbing noise is horrible haha). Installing the front drop in the next few weeks when the weather improves, so will see how that sits
When I lowered my truck 7", I had 235/75-15s on Rally wheels and had to roll the passenger side fender even with an adjustable panhard bar. We used a piece of scrap tube laying around and when I went to 275s on different wheels, I ended up having to roll both sides and they still rub on hard corners.
