Laying frame may not be so cool if you have a system failure at 75 on the interstate.  I would highly recommend bump stops to give some clearance.  Trust me, it is also not cool to hit a pothole in the middle of the Ponderosa parking lot at 5 miles per hour.

Easy removable bumpstops.  something that you can remove when you're cruising, but in place on the highway.

If you MUST lay frame I would use blocks that can be bolted to the frame and then replaced as they wear out.
