Hey Paul,
There are two ways to solve this, as this is a normal problem.

1) Put external spacers on the rear shock shafts, so they bottom on the body before the driveshafts hits the diff. Driveshaft hitting the diff can snap the dogbones.

2) Redrill the BK2 Axle so the pin is further back by 2mm - this still gives enough bone into outdrive, but cures the limitation of suspension travel.

Chris

Just spacer it on the outside of the shocks.
