slammedbowtie Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 ok well i started this with my friend at 10pm last night and finished at 5am. then i had to be to work at 8. not cool and im still up. gotta get the fresh news on the forum lol. everything went well. i thought the rear would be easy. it was harder than the front. the truck rides great up front. the rear is almost sitting on the rear bump stop that i already cut an inch off of. its almost frame to axle. anyone encounter this? what did you do to make it ride smoother? lift the rear a little? i dont want to c notch it. thanks rob and yes thats def my friends leg in there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss wrecker Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 take the bumpstop mount off and remove the bumpstop from the bracket. there is a hole in the frame above where the bracket mounts that you can mount the bumpstop to. that should help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kersey Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 looks good. do we have to lower the rear an inch lower to get it level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slammedbowtie Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) did that! no bracket and bump stop shaved. i dont think im putting the plate on the bottom that is what holds the U bolts on top from moving. and yes our trucks a have a rake to them. the rear like most trucks sits higher. yeah i live in the country. i was afraid it would be too low. if i can get more suspension out of the rear then i will be fine. but with the pot holes and unpaved roads around here im screwed lol thanks guys.

I'd love to get another inch around at some point though. I love how tight the tires fit in the wells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
