are you running a short ass front tire? there is no way i can hit my arm to the frame unless i roll on a rim. and i beat the hell out of my inner fenders. or do you mean it hits the bumpstop? a notch seems to be very needed for these trucks out back. i plan to make it actually have a length of square tube on top the rail under the bed so i can go taller into the frame. ill probably never be happy with it until i dig into the bed floor. lol.

 

no i have stock steals all the way around with stock size tires but ya i did mean bump stop well whats left of the cut over half of them off

 

gotcha. cuz i was wondering how the hell you hit frame. haha. i couldnt with one size shorter tire, even if i took the springs out. post a picture of it. i have some parts if you need anything.

 

alright cool i see if i can get some up on the later part of 2day

 

sweet. if its orange you get bonus points. haha. me and my dad have had more orange trucks over the years than anything else combined. something like 6 have been. of like 11. lol.

 

ya it is for being how old it is there is no rust or anything like that just some small dents here and there i just got done pluging over 50 small screw holes in the bed today

 

damn. in the outer skin or inside the bed? i can give you tips on getting bedside dings out. i took a bunch out. i also had a big nitrogen bottle come loose and make a few big ones in the side. i used a baseball bat and a chunk of steel block. used the end of the bat as a soft hammer to tap them down. worked pretty good.

 

no luckly they where all around the railing except for the 2in one that was under the tail gate that was for a trailer plug but in my own opinion this was one of the cleanest luxs i have found

 

cool. my 92 was like that. they drilled tons of holes all over. i think it probably had like 9 different canopys half assed onto it over the years. i got it with one on it. funny story, i sold it on craigslist without the clamps...cuz i wanted to keep them lol. and some mexicans came and bought it, they had one hop in the back to hold it down for the drive home. i dont know how i didnt see it in the road at the corner.

 

that is pretty funny sounds like something they would do

 

ok so i dont know what the deal is but i just blew my brand new front shocks that i put on saturday i just dont get it i am having nothing but problems with the arms hitting where the bumpstops were im wondering if my spings could be bad i just dont know

 

what do you mean you blew the shocks? mine were awesome for a while but softened up as the broke in if thats what you mean. if they are leaking or messed up id take em back and get fresh ones.

have you clearanced the inner fenders yet? atleast hammer that pinch weld flange flat and take out any bolts aiming in from the engine bay or floorboards. then measure how much space you have from the top of the tire to the fender. and compare that to the arm and the spring cup. i say ditch the bump stops all together. when you cut a spring it gets bouncy-er. i had alot of little reworking on mine til it all stopped rubbing and being terrible. i think since i have the narrow stock wheels ill put my sway bar back in today.

 

ok so after closer looking i did blow that drivers side shock not a big deal but i did take the bumpstop mounts completely off and now i am hittin the swaybar bolts just a little as for the inner fender i barly rub on the top so im going to look at that a little closer today

 

Take the bottom bump stop off and trim the top one.
It works pretty well that way. Im not sure why so many guys dont run any bump stops, I dont like metal to metal.

 

Did you cut your springs? or heat them?
If you cut them how many coils did you cut?

 

i cut them about 2 coils my issue now though is the upper arm is hittin the swaybar mounts

 

thats why i took my sway bar off. i plan to trim the edge of the spring cup down so it has clearance. mine was sitting on it hard though. i took about 3-1/2 turns off the coil

 

how does yours handal without the swaybar

 

well, its got more body roll than i want but it isnt that bad. id like to get it back in. just gotta trim the spring cups.

 

any updates yoter? id still like to see pictures. we gotta roll 3 wide down I-5 to the show. lol.
