I dont have the superflex kit but i have the super ride and its the same height and i also have the bushwacker flat flares, not sure if you have flat or pocket style. Only thing is its not regeared yet however i havent lost too much power, but heres how she sits.

Proper bump stops will prevent it.

I am at 4.5 and have 33x12.5. I would be pissed if they were smaller. I am getting 35s soon. Right now I barely rub anywhere while wheeling with stock bumpstops. But that depends on how flexy your kit is so if you end up rubbing just throw a hockey puck in your coil for stops. Check out my album for pic reference.
