    Cutting plus a good set of upper control arms and a good wheel alignment will be your best friend.

    Remove the body lift, remove the 2" leveling kit. Leave the drop bracket lift since it'll be a huge headache to reverse, and then start clearing for 35s the right way. You can't keep going higher and higher to the heavens till you clear whatever you're shoving underneath. You have a shit show going on and although I'm sure the shop is more than happy to take your hard earned money to keep shoving pucks and spacers wherever you tell them to, you need to stop and understand what you want to accomplish and how to do so the right way. There are people that fit 35s with less than 3" lifts, no need for 9"

    . It started to feel like the shop was just installing crap to do it and not actually looking to solve the issue.

    Did the shop tell you that they had to cut your front subframe to fit that drop bracket?

    They cut a bunch of stuff, I regret using them. Now I left with a Frankenstein or parts.

    Didn't that dude let TW get him in the feels and then quit on us?
    OP don't be like that. There's been some good advice in this thread mixed in with the funning. Find a different shop though.

    I’m looking at a total rebuild going bulletproof lift. The idea of the shackles or the blocks and springs.
