Gary,
Been there, done that.  Without the tub on the car the rear axle  is tight to 
the chassis and even if the rubber "bumper" is installed prior to  the 
springs going on, it sits tight to the top of the chassis member.  I  did the same 
as you, and jumped on the chassis as I had my doubts that this was  OK.  Once 
the tub, rear fenders, boot lid, etc. went on, clearance has  developed between 
the axle and the chassis.  This is with no interior  and an absolutely empty 
gas tank.  Apparently, I don't weigh as much as I  thought, (unlikely), or all 
that stuff weighs a lot more than I thought.   It is OK.
