Anyone have a fix for this after I replace the chassis, toe block and bumper so it does not happen again? I was going to switch to the STRC toe block and use large amounts of chassis tape. Have any other thoughs that I have not seen?

I think ignoring that is plain old Poor tuning. No offense. Your truck isn't suppose to bottom grind like that. You need to limit the shocks to help your truck not bottom out. You're losing alot of power when you grind out to that extent too. Limit or thicken up.
If I were you, i'd be getting angry at donkey kicking that produces at my tracks. Bottoming out is okay, But dragging your butt along the track is not.
