Cab mount chop on a brand new truck?

If you want inspiration to hack up a new truck @Diablo169 has his Brocoma build.... check his thread out.

 

I've got ProComp La Paz
17x8.5
0 offset
4.75 backspace

 

POW.

I think you have too much offset. Likely the source of your rubbing.

I am at 17x8.5 -10.

 

Heres a drastic example. Its not the cleanest job but I don't rub anymore.

 

Clearance for days

 

Ha! That CMC looks wayyyy better than mine. I had some garage hack do it when I was a noob. Might be doing it over again with the jump to three fives next summer

 

That was one of my first weld jobs I did. Up close its a nasty job. A lot of grinding was involved to make it look clean lol

 

I am with you man. I have considered just grinding the hell out of mine and re-painting but so many other punch list items on my list. And right now my house is coming first over the rig. sad times.

 

I know exactly how you feel. I just moved to Montana so all projects were hold for a while, as I was living out of a hotel for almost 2 months and bought a house. I finally grinded down my original job and repainted. I was rubbing a lot with the spacers and took those off. No rubbing anymore.

 

Your rigs looking very clean man. Jealous I feel like I'm totally neglecting mine now lol

 

I appreciate it. Don't feel so bad, my rig has been in the body shop the past 3 weeks getting my passenger door fixed. I'm dying to turn some wrenches and get my new allpro expos on. Wish I could have wheeled with you guys at Rausch before I left. I never had to opportunity to see what my truck is possible of since I didn't have full skids at the time.

 

Chopped my 2017, 10/10 would chop again.

 

Dooooo iiiiiiiiitttt!!!
Just be aware: I did one for a friend and when he had to have unrelated service at a dealer they scolded him, told him to get it fixed before coming back. Full disclosure, it was my DYF Megachop. Has to be cut to replace bushings. Changes the circle ○ to a semi circle D. Great for big tires though

 

Rausch is fun. honestly you could have done all of the blues and greens. I did a mixed bag my first trip out. Wound up fine. I wanted to push it harder but never got the exhaust re-route and t-case on in time. My old man was with me and he was super nervous it was funny. But being a trail limo is real talk. Love my DCLB but i can see there are some limitations without 35's or even 37's to get to the next level.

 

Enough for 35s.

 

@nartmot weld looks great! honestly looks factory done. they supplied their own inserts and matched the color to my frame as well.

 

Chopped!

 

My first mod. Chopped it a lot so I can fit 35s in the future

 

Idk how to feel chopping my 40K truck yet maybe few years from now. Im hoping i don't rub when i upgrade to 17×8.5 wheels

I feel like I could get away without doing a CMC
