Default Need help

I put on a 23 inch front wheel, new lowers and raked it out 7 degrees and a new wrap fender. The ride is amazing but if I hit a bad bump the front bottoms out and the front fender is damaged. Does anyone know what I can put inside my lowers or add to the front to prevent the bottoming out on the front fender.

I would think maybe a thicker fork oil for starters.
You will have to describe what you installed as lowers. There are different kits and each one has a specific means of limiting travel.
