They make a specific one for the Vicky to avoid it hitting the rear floor pan.

Mitchell made the Vicky unit moved forward to clear the dropped floor but it will still hit if on a rough road or bumps. It depends how good your rear springs are. People have installed 10 leaf spring set to solve the problem but I chose not to incase it changed the stance. I put some rubber sheet. 1/2 inch thick on top of the unit. If going over rr tracks to fast you will hear it contact but other then that it seems fine. Passengers in the back seat would be another story. My plan is to lift the carpet under the front seats and box in a small area above the unit. It would never be noticed.
