That rubber bumpstop looking thing Is not factory. It looks to be some type of helper for when you have a heavy load in the back. Instead of it being a helper spring it's just an air bag.I would get rid of it.. If you follow the line it will probably go to a small air compressor. You won't hurt anything by taking it all out.
While we're on the topic of bumpstops depending on the tire size you go with you may want extended ones.
I'm really surprised the studs for the lower shock mount both broke on you! Never had that happen to me in all of the shocks I've taken off. It's always the uppers that want to break.
Your doing a good job! I always worked on my back with no air tools. Until I got my current job with coworkers who have lifts and compressors to power my air tools
You can borrow all the ideas you want from my build thread go ahead and ask questions if you have any!
