Yeah I have slight rubbing up front on sharp turns right now. I just need to get under there and remove the mud flaps and modify a couple of the plastic pieces. Other then that they fit like a Glove.

mattyrides07 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Nice job! Did you do it yourself? Not a big fan of the wheels, but to each their own. LOVE the black paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did it with a buddy. took about 6 hours. Mostly due to us wanting to pass out half way through. I live in Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel97R50 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Well done man! Looks good! Excited to see what she can handle now with the extra inches?? Yeah I really am. I want to get at least the mid skid plate and a set of rock sliders on it before I get too bold though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman2989 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm still working to save up and get that lift, but my sliders have saved me from some carnage already. Definitely a wise investment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a wise investment! I can imagine. I just need to learn how to weld or find a shop in town to throw them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linkinpark Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Looks good. Like mine did just about 6 months ago before I got my new rims and tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel97R50 Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Thank you. I need to take measurements this week. The one bad thing is with the tires being used I am not sure how long they have been sitting. I had a blow out last night on one and already had to replace it. So I will probably wind up replacing them all at some point. The cool thing is the truck barely budged when the tire blew. I was doing over 50 mph too. These springs are working out quite nice.

Joel97R50 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Finally got the fenders up front cut. Took about 2 inches off on each side. I have complete clearance all the way around now. I also measured. Truck sits at 35 and 1/4 inches from ground to fender now at all 4 tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
