Let me guess - stock pipes right? Passenger on board or shocks too soft on preload? You didn't scrape the frame even though it sounded like it. The rear pipe to the support bracket has a bolt that attaches the two and it points down - I'll bet that is what touched. Either you need to jack up the preload, get longer/better shocks or lighten the load.

Put the shock on the 5 setting as described in your owners manual. You can get a spanner wrench for 12 bucks.

Wouldn't think so your under the average , check the manual and adjust them up settings over where you are now the tool is a good investment . Can always go more if still needed .
