    Just removed the front lower bump stops. the left one's bolt broke haha.

    As for the truck's front.... I cranked down the torsions... had about 1.95 inches of thread left on that bolt.


    each side, the fender tucks the tread. but im not flush haha



    btw, no pics :D

    LOL!!!!

    Will need to scavenge the house for a camera!

    So.... I kinda took my bumpstops off (was resting on it)

    and rolled off the driveway.... and you know how some components are bolt down to the fender apron???


    well....... friggin bolt things stuck through and almost tore up one of my tread blocks!!!!!

    im pretty pissed about that (new tires...) soo i loosened up a few bolts, and put my bumpstops back in.....

    btw, running OEM size tires (26")... gunna crank it up a bit more today... sigh

    oh yeah, running on bumpstops wasnt too bad, considering there's almost no body roll :D

    Yea my stocks are on 205/70's and i lowered one side then had to crank the **** back up cuz i couldnt turn much before the tire hit the inner fender.

    Now that i got 19's i needa cut the inner fenders out then buy new torsion bolts

    Anything with a bolt going through can get unbolted. Then rehung with zipties. Any area too close to the tire inside the fender gets it's ass kicked by a big hammer. There is a pinch weld that folds over nicely. I played the game on a 92 and a 78. It'll help so much it's not funny. Then go find some 195/70 or 195/65 tires used and put them on. I wanna see your truck on some of the 78 style steelies.
