Cranking the bars to lower the front end moves things closer to the upper bump stop


Don't you mean the lower bumpstops? Lowering the front of the truck would bring the A-arms higher, which means they would be coming into contact with the lower bumpstops.

You can easily inspect to see how much travel you have with the t-bars cranked down. Just take a peak under your truck and see how much space there is between the lower A-arm and the bump stops.
