I'd guess the main problem being you wouldn't have a reiger rear bumper for long

Doubt you'd be able to lower that far cause of how low the bumper sits

It's not really the bumpers you have to watch out for. Take the bolts out of the arches and use tiger seal to put them back on. And get shocks to match the springs (Dave A will be able to help) and you'll be fine.

Edit: I thought you meant for scrubbing I do apologise. But what I said also stands, and the others are correct.
