Beam hitting floor on lowered van

[cyberdyne systems]

Ok so i've got T2D 3.5" dropped spindles on my van, ride is good, the only thing was on my original tyres when i went into a dip the tyres would sometimes bottom out on the floor where the front seats mount.

I changed wheels and tyres and basically lost 20mm from the diameter (now 165/55 15), now I dont bottom out the tyre but I have scraped the beam ends a few times instead. So what is others experiences on a lowered van? I still have the standard shocks and imagine if I replace them with something better the extra bounce will be reduced quicker, i could also grind a bit off the beam ends too.

What do you guys do?

Mine did the same. I cut a fair bit off the bottom of the beam end plates and fitted some heavy duty Gaz shocks... Only does it now if two fat boys are sat up front!!
