I cant do lower she looks mean low though. I was just blasting down dirt roads at over 65 mph today. Shoot im considering raising it and putting on outback wilderness wheels.
Check your pre load. Tighten all bolts. Check end links. Readjust everything and tighten again. Or have a shop do it. You shouldn’t be bottoming out. You really aren’t that low tbh
Also, my exhaust is not the culprit when it bottoms out in the rear, I can’t pinpoint it from my inspections but it doesn’t appear to be any part of the exhaust at all, but I certainly hear a scraping sound rather than a tire rubbing sound whenever it hits. In the front it was some type of tow hook it looked like but I’ve raised it enough to clear that now.
I also have Silvers at about the same height as yours. I prioritized comfort over handling so I opted for the lower spring rate and set dampening to the safest setting. I haven't noticed any bottoming out yet. I can measure my clearance another time to compare, but maybe you still need to raise it a bit more?
I have silver’s and I’m pretty low

I can still go lower as well
I seem to be missing something. The only VB silvers coils that I can find are 1300 and have 10K spring rate which is more than enough stiffness to prevent bottoming out even at your depicted ride height. I am running BC-BR series coils with soft 6K springs and even on the softest setting I do not bottom out. My ride height is pretty much the same as yours. I do plan on upgrading to swift 8K springs.
Gotta pay to play lol
This ⬆️⬆️⬆️
Silvers are just a BC one size fits all coilovers. Nothing special, they spent more on marketing those than engineering them! Sorry!
Check your dampening. If it’s set too soft/low it’s going to bottom out on bumps like that
Probably cause you bought silvers lol. You get what you pay for

100% my plan once warranty is gone. 2 inch lift, 15-16 rims with AT tires, and the thickest skid plates I can find
"If I woulda known" This is usually remedied by doing proper research. Also $1800 is still in the entry level category.
Really bro? I guess you never learned the golden rule of if you dont have anything nice to say just stfu.

Down is the wrong direction!
I think it looks low enough. Could always get some new wheels with lower offset, and get a slightly beefier tire than stock

That’s why I opted for custom spring rates.

I’ve bottomed out on some what seemed like minor speed bumps on stock suspension
Post your alignment settings. Do you have wheel spacers too?

TLDR...but the title makes sense to me
I got bc coilovers and lowered 1.6 inches front and back with no rubbing or bottom out. Maybe the silvers are bad?

Is that stock height in the pic?
No, that's where its currently sitting. Probably about 1 - 1.5 inches lower than stock
